The main goal is to establish a sustainable business with the capacity to grow. By covering the startup costs of the project, the poultry farm will not begin its operations in a deficit, and by building additional coops, the farm will have space to grow.

History
The Circle of Peace School currently teaches 250 students K-7 and boards 25 students, most of whom have been orphaned by AIDS. Unlike most Ugandan primary schools, the Circle of Peace School aims to educate children who are normally too impoverished to afford regular school fees. The Circle of Peace School was founded in 1994 by the Bbaale family. Mr. Ibrahim Bbaale, who has thirteen years of experience in collecting and selling eggs, is the manager of the newly established poultry farm. The poultry farm was first started by the Bbaale family to raise money for the Circle of Peace School. Without sufficient funding, the poultry farm has been declining due to improper conditions for the hens. David Davenport heard about the grant and attended an information session to learn more about it. Having been involved with the Circle of Peace School for over a year through Givology, he saw the grant as an opportunity to make a change. Collaboratively with the Bbaale family, he put his plan into action to improve the conditions of the poultry farm and to help it expand.
Impact
This project will have a positive impact on the Circle of Peace School, its students, and Makindye in many ways. The most notable impact of this project will be the financial stability and sustainability it gives to the Peace School. By helping to secure the stability and sustainability of the Peace School, this project will help ensure that the Peace School can continue to improve its community by educating and inspiring its students, by supporting AIDS orphans, and by alleviating its community of poverty.

An Update from the Chicken Farm!
Below is a report prepared by a student who is teaching at the Circle of Peace School this semester. Her name is Pamela Vanis. [u]Visit to the Chicken Farm[/u] After school on Monday, we took a visit to David Davenport Chicken Farm. The farm is located about 20miles from Makindye village and was established in September 2011 in conjunction with the Davis Project for Peace and the Bbaale family as a way to provide long-term sustainable funding for Circle of Peace School. Currently there are about 1,400 chickens, which bring in enough income for chicken feed and small day-to-day maintenance, as well as providing 1 egg every 2 weeks to the students at school. This is a great start; and while everyone is extremely optimist about the future of the chicken farm, there is still much work to be done before benefits are seen readily. Currently, the biggest problem at the farm is drainage. Since the farm is located in a valley of a very steep hill, when it rains there is inevitable flooding, ... -
