COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

We organize community seminars and workshops concerning sustainable agriculture, family planning, HIV awareness, nutrition and hygiene etc.
We run the microcredit scheme to encourage community members to make individual investments, start small businesses and manage their savings.
The center serves as a place where children can come to study and do their homework.
We develop open-source library.
We unite and strengthen community of female farmers through open educational seminars, feedback sessions, interactive lectures and team-building activities.

Everybody is welcomed to learn about organic farming methods and get involved in community activities.
We prefer to plant and save the seeds of local vegetable like sucha, murere, saka and kunde that are resistant to pests, rich for nutrients and profitable.
We use double digging beds to improve water holding capacity, prevent soil erosion, keep soil nutrients and increase the yield.
The yield from demonstration farm goes directly to local farmers involved in the work on farm. About 10% of profit is to support the activities of community center.

The construction of the brick factory was done by volunteers of the village community.
The small brick factory has an interlocking brick machine to compress the soil. The site provides shade for the bricks, drying space as well as storage space.
We hire the compress machine to the local people for producing their bricks. The income from bricks is shared by the workers and Niaver CBO for current projects ( 10% of profit)
