Due to a lack of electricity, high maintenance costs, and a non-functioning mill, women in Sakao Serere must travel 8.5 kilometers to access the nearest operational millet mill. This not only increases their workload but also limits their ability to process millet efficiently, impacting household food security and income generation. To address these challenges, the community has proposed modernizing the local mill by installing an electric power supply and equipping the existing machinery with an electric motor. This upgrade will significantly reduce labor and processing time, enhance productivity, and create new economic opportunities, particularly for women who rely heavily on millet processing for their livelihoods.
