We are here to help
Our focus is on empowering NGO's (non-profit organizations), MFI's (Micro Finance Organizations) and Social Entrepreneurs to develop and manage poultry projects in the developing world. Many times our partners already have some sort of poultry operation, our resources can help benchmark operational performance and provide training.
The Egg Module is always open to developing new partnerships. If you represent or know of an organization that may be interested in our project please have them contact us at info@eggmodule.org
Egg Module Projects
Hope For Kids International, Uganda
Egg Module has been in working with Hope 4 Kids International for since 2009. In April 2010 I join a group of Hope For Kids at the project site.
Positive Planet, Uganda
In November 2008, New York based Positive Planet and Egg Module started researching the potential for poultry egg production in their area. The intent is to use profits from the poultry business to help support the Matale Hill Primary School.
In April on 2010 Paul Helgeson visited the project.
Project Overview:
Positive Planet Poultry Project is collaborative effort between Positive Planet, Egg Module and Katwadde Investments Limited Farm (Saidat’s farm). The objective is to create a self-sufficient business in which proceeds will benefit schools in the local community. The initial Egg Module is housed and managed by Katwadde Investments Ltd. Farm for benefit of Positive Planet, which will use a portion of the funds for a school lunch program at the Matale Hill Primary School.

Jinja, Uganda
The Women’s Center for Job Creation’s (WCFJC) and The Egg Module are entering into a partnership to create a small-scale poultry egg production facility in the Jinja District, Uganda. WCFJC works with women to transform struggling micro enterprises into profitable initiatives that create jobs in their communities. This is done by providing beneficiaries with access to relevant training/capacity building, access to markets and access to value-adding resources.

Cash Flow Forecast for 2000 layers
Marantha, Uganda
University of Minnesota MBA student Dan Kaskubar is working with the Egg Module to determine whether Maranatha would be a good fit for a second pilot site. Dan’s Internship with this Ugandan NGO is focused on partnering to build capacity through income generating enterprises. This is particularly relevant because
Maranatha has made it a goal to raise tens of thousands of chickens for income by 2013.
In June 2008 Dan has provided these intital reports about the status of thier poultry operations.

Counting and Weighing Chickens
Rabuor, Kenya
The first project was with the Rabuor Village Project. Below is a summary of the project from the June 2008 newsletter.
"Four
hundred peeping chicks arrived in Rabuor Village the evening of April
25, 2008. A full year of research, planning, and training went into the
creation of this commercial poultry raising enterprise. Phase One was
the completion of a central coop in December, 2007. Due to the Kenyan
political crisis, there was a delay in obtaining the chicks and other
supplies, but by early Spring our staff was able to work around the
problems and move the project forward. Phase Two of the project is the
completion of three smaller, outlying coops which will house brood and
layer stock. This ambitious enterprise will have multiple benefits in
Rabuor, including providing eggs to the Nursery School students, income
generation for the youth, and one of the major building blocks of
economic self sufficiency."
