HHCH was blessed with some extra money from a church in the States to start up a rabbit farm. This will add some extra protein into the diet of our children. Hopefully it will also add some more monies to their food budget through sales. Jake grew up raising and even showing rabbits (he won $300 for a rabbit once!) so he is really enjoying designing and making their cages. I must admit the rabbits look too cute to eat but the kids don't think so :D.

Cages with nesting boxes
We bought our rabbits from a Catholic farm where they raise rabbits, pigs, chickens etc. plus teach people about raising them. They have an amazing setup.
We have one more of these cages made now plus a few more rabbits. They are currently in the garage but will be moved outside once a lean-to has been built.
Four bunnies already! The mother rabbit pulls her fur out to make a nest. They are so cute!

Holly,
we did this in South Africa too, and while Greg and I had no problem eating them, the students didn't want to as they had raised them! It is a good protein and you should have enough to sell some too! So happy for this new project for you guys.
Holly, I am currently looking for some rabbits in Cameroon. Could you please tell me where you bought yours or would you have some for sale by chance? You can email me at gagerico@gmail.com. Thanks, Gage
