In April 2024, a donation of £3,331.04 was made to support a transformative initiative in Kyerwa District, Tanzania. This project, implemented by KYEDEO (Kyerwa Development Organization), focuses on improving local livelihoods and nutrition through the establishment of a milling operation.
Project Objectives and Activities
This initiative is designed to empower farmers, enhance food security, and provide access to fortified flour for the local population. Key project activities include:
- Construction of a Milling House
A dedicated milling house will be built on the project site, ensuring a safe and sustainable space for operations. - Purchase and Installation of Milling Machines
The project will procure and set up milling machines, enabling the efficient processing of locally grown maize. - Supporting Local Farmers
Farmers in the community will benefit from the purchase of maize and other micronutrients, creating a stable market for their produce and boosting their income. - Production of Fortified Flour
The milling machines will produce and package fortified flour, which will then be supplied to the target population, addressing local nutritional needs. - Evaluation and Reporting
The project includes regular evaluation and reporting, ensuring transparency and measuring its impact on the community.
Transforming Lives Through Nutrition and Opportunity
This project will directly improve the lives of community members by:
- Boosting Local Economies: Supporting farmers by purchasing their crops and creating jobs in milling, packaging, and distribution.
- Improving Nutrition: Providing fortified flour to combat malnutrition and promote better health.
- Building Sustainable Infrastructure: Establishing a milling house and equipment to ensure long-term benefits for the community.
