Animal Rights
The Rukungiri Pamoja Farmers Association is dedicated to advancing animal welfare in Uganda by promoting cage-free farming practices. Our work focuses on transitioning farmers from traditional battery cages to more humane, cage-free systems, ensuring better living conditions for hens and other livestock. We believe that animals deserve to live in environments that allow them to express natural behaviors, leading to healthier animals and higher-quality produce.
Through our Cage-Free Farming Initiative, we collaborate with local farmers to provide training, resources, and support needed to implement cage-free practices. This includes education on animal health, proper housing, and sustainable farming methods that not only benefit the animals but also improve the livelihoods of farmers
We also engage in Corporate Outreach to secure cage-free commitments from restaurants, supermarkets, and other businesses. By working with the corporate sector, we aim to create a market demand for ethically produced, cage-free products, which in turn supports our farmers and ensures better treatment of animals throughout the supply chain.
Our association is committed to raising awareness about the importance of animal welfare and advocating for policies that promote ethical farming practices. Through community outreach, media campaigns, and partnerships with like-minded organizations, we strive to make a positive impact on both animals and people in our region.
