Empowering breeders through our rabbit breeding program
This rabbit breeding program or rabbit breeding is justified for two main reasons: One is economic, because it can be a source of food and/or income.
Breeding domestic rabbits will help to identify the problem of the rabbit’s nutritional needs, particularly in minerals and vitamins.
Rabbit breeding provides several advantages to its initiator. For example, the collected rabbit urine is used to deworm crops while the droppings are used as fertilizer for crops. Rabbit breeding thus helps to maintain crops without resorting to chemicals that can be harmful to health.
Overall Objective
Our Christian Rabbit Farming Project provides Christians with the knowledge and resources to raise rabbits for sustainable food security and income generation. We provide training on rabbit care, breeding and management. We then monitor and evaluate to ensure success and encourage “rabbit pass-through” – where rabbits from successful first litters are given to others in the community to continue the cycle of empowerment.
Building a Self-Reliant Future: This project promotes self-sufficiency within the Christian community by teaching rabbit farming practices. We provide training, and ongoing support on modern rabbit farming.
Participants are able to raise rabbits for their own families, improving their nutritional needs.
Our overall goal is to help the livestock sector contribute to food security, combat malnutrition, increase household income and grow the family economy. We distribute rabbits to Christians and encourage them to do what is called a solidarity chain or value chain so that these rabbits can multiply.
