This is Olupot Michael, he is a Deaf farmer in Komuge village, Bukedea district – Eastern Uganda. He is supported by DLU to improve his life as well as support his family.

DLU donated 3 turkeys to him and within a one year period, he obtained 8 turkeys. He has sold some to buy livestock, pay his children school fees and meet domestic needs. His quality of life has improved greatly due to DLU support.
