The group was formed in 2024 by 30 young community members displaced by the conflict from South Sudan, 14 men and 16 women, who shared a simple desire to change their lives for the better. With determination to raise money, the group took on casual work in the community including digging gardens for host community members and fellow community members and saving every shilling they earned. The process was slow, painful, but they kept going. In time, they saved enough to build a small poultry house and buy 200 one-month-old broiler chicks.

Using the little knowledge they had, they began rearing the birds and later sold them at an average price of UGX 35,000 (approximately USD 9.5) each. They did not stop there. They reinvested the money into the business and continued with more cycles, first 300 birds, then 250. With each round, they learned through experience.

When ForAfrika met the group in May 2025, it found young people who had already shown extraordinary commitment but were still fighting an uphill battle. Their biggest challenge was lack of sufficient capital and the technical knowledge needed to grow sustainably. Some birds had been lost to disease in earlier cycles, and those losses were discouraging.
