A question I asked myself 3 years ago more seriously was: How can I live for the sake of others?
I was 26years old and working a 9-5 fiat job (I still do) which I enjoy but no real life satisfaction.
I kept in contact with a friend I made in Uganda when I volunteered there back in 2012...I remember promising I'll come back and build a farm...so that's what I did!
Fortune Farms Limited was founded in summer of 2020 and I got to work.
As an engineer I work from first principles (maybe that's why Bitcoin makes so much sense to me from Day 1)
There was no electricity so needed to sort that out (Lots of details but it wasn't easy)
Feeding was very expensive of the pigs and chickens we had so decided to create my own feeds and built a Maize Mill to process the Maize we grew to create Broken Maize and Maize Flour. Broken Maize then used to help feed the chickens.
Built a new chicken house capacity 2500 (good thing I'm a civil engineer saved some costs 😊)
There is no incubator or ability for other local farmers to buy local chicks to raise themselves and feed there families apart from travelling to the capital Kampala. So I am now creating incubator facilities currently work in progress.
I am also developing an Aquaponics system in the near future and on land fish farming.
Long term goal is to develop methane gas harvesting system to capture waste produced by the farm and mine bitcoin.
I currently hire 3 full time employees and 100% funded from me and my wife's fiat jobs in the UK.
I've been introducing the locals to bitcoin and lightning ⚡and would love to bring more financial inclusion to the areas that really need it. Alot of work needed there.
A small snippet of what I'm doing...I'm not a farmer so thank you internet and YouTube.
There is a long way to go but at least I'm giving it a go and feeling happier...it does make it harder to stack sats and build a business at the same time... But hey I wanted to try and help/live for others so that's on me.
Follow for some future progress of a guy finding his way and building a farm and trying to incorporate Bitcoin 🙃🙏
