Campaign Story

Gudie Leisure Farm (GLF) is a Young Africa Works partner that is nurturing youth to work effectively in the White Meat Value Chain. The program targets young women and men, out of school dropouts in central regions (Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, Mubende, Masaka, Rakai, Lwengo), youth living in the rural areas of the West regions (Isingiro, Mbarara, Kiryandongo, Hoima), South (Kabale, Kisoro), North (Arua, Gulu, Nwoya), and Eastern region (Tororo, Soroti, Namisindwa, Jinja).

Services targeting youth:

• Young people at GLF are upskilled in relevant competencies across the entire white meat value chain including aquaculture, poultry, cuniculture, and piggery.
• Youths at GLF go through a mini-franchise agribusiness incubation model which trains, incubates and supports young Business Manager Apprentices to develop enterprises along the white meat value chain.
• Through the GLF model, youths reduce the dormant time between education and employment. Youth in this programme graduate with a comprehensive entrepreneurship starter pack and receive ongoing business development support to progress the success of their enterprises.
