Project Overview

In Rwakarai Village, 84 households (250 people) with 70% surviving on wage and subsistence farming currently travel 6-10km (2 hours) to access milling services, spending KES150 on transport one-way. The project establishes an electric and diesel-powered Grade 1 and 2 posho mill within the village, reducing distance to 2km and transport costs to below KES 100, while developing upsell opportunities for enriched flour and animal feeds. Benefits include direct service for over 30 households, monthly profit of KES 13,300, strengthened youth entrepreneurial skills, a circular economy through by-product utilization (animal feeds), and sustainability through structured pricing, value addition, and reinvestment plans.
