Kyomya has started educating the farmers and provided seeds and tools for through a farmers cooperative. However, one of the biggest obstacles to their success is having a vehicle to transport the cash crops to the market. The farmers cooperative would like to purchase a truck for this.

We require someone to research foundations, organizations or other agencies that may be able to assist with finding a vehicle for the farmers. Alternatively, research ways that the farmers may acquire a vehicle.

Avocados are grown fairly easily in Kabondo, which is located in one of two areas in Kenya that can grow them. The community would like to examine the possibility of turning avocados into an income-generating idea including the production of value-added products (such as oil for beauty products or use in cooking/food preparation).

Help us gather research on the possible uses of avocados and its parts (oil, seed, leaves, skin, etc). Any ideas are welcome!
