The Kyamaganda Community Development Organization (KCDO) exists as an advocate for young people to release them from their spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty, enabling them to become responsible, fulfilled Christians and adult citizens. One of the ways they can help reduce economic, social and physical poverty is through the Maize Mill. When community members bring the maize they have grown to the mill they are able to quickly increase the worth of their maize by creating a more usable product. This helps motivate community members to put effort into their farms and simultaneously produces income that KCDO can use to put toward future projects.
Project Status
In progress
The equipment has arrived!
With the political unrest in Kenya affecting transport and exportation, it has been a long wait for the arrival of the equipment to get the maize mill at St Nicholas grain mill on-site. Today the truck pulled in with all the bits and pieces needed to bring this project to life, and assembly began.
Testing will follow over the next days and then, after a little more financial investment and a lot more sweat equity, the maize mill will be ready to effect change in the community as farmers will have a local mill, profits will be used to support KCDO projects, and families will have a nearby source of freshly ground grains for their cooking needs.
