As it was in plans since 2009 and under the support of Mr. Bjorn, an International Participants from the Netherlands, the project has been reinforced, and another project to motive primary students was initiated. The project was entitled the Rabbit for Performance.
Last time, pupils who performed well during the first term, i.e. the firsts in their respective classes from year one up to six, were given a female rabbit, as an award and a motivation to keep on performing good. The students were to rear these livestocks not only to reinforce their scholar curricula on biology, general knowledge and agriculture, but also to introduce animal proteins in their daily ratios and the last but not the least to generate income.
NYAKAGEZI Anti-HIV Youth Club has a such project that will help its members improving their life standards in future.The rabbit project is owned by the Nyakagezi Anti-HIV Youth Club. The Club members select the rabbits to breed before selling their babies. Rabbits were chosen since they have a short gestation period and are able to produce a number of offsprings. This enables members to make some incomes quickly.
The Club members use the money to pay their school fees,to afford medical insurance and buy some clothes they need. The project has faced some problems over the years but is planning to address them with trainings by professionals and raise funds from different donors.
