Raising Rabbits for Income

About this Project

The members of a savings group in Ruhuha, Rwanda, are organizing their resources to create a rabbit farm enterprise, supplying nearby markets with rabbit meat and raising household incomes for the group’s 25 members. Adding to your investment of $5,000, the group will contribute $2,700 of their own resources and purchase 30 high-quality rabbits, rabbit cages, and feed. The funding will also support land preparation, training, and veterinary services. Because rabbits reproduce in abundance, the group will distribute rabbit offspring among other families in their community for additional nutrition and to begin rabbit farms of their own.
