The community has been considering a profit-sharing scheme instead of using the minimum wage to pay coop workers. They have consulted with an accountant-friend who has told them it is possible.

They would like to up the wage-rate in proportion to hours worked and profit-made by the coop. For this task, we are looking for people knowledgeable in business economics to help us work out how to do this and still comply with the cooperative code.

This space will be used to provide general project information and updates.

Some months ago a discussion started on Nabuur about girls in Kabondo, Kenya not being able to attend school during their period; a common problem in many parts of the developing world. Disposable pads are very expensive and alternatives don't seem to exist for most girls. They often just stay home for the 5-10 days per month that they have they period, rather than be embarrassed. This cuts heavily into their education. ( To see past discussion visit http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/kabondo/project/task/feminine-hygiene-p...)

Picture: 

Nairobi Eastlands (NESC) has a large bank of potential funding / support organisations listed in the resource section (right hand column). These organisations were selected because they are organisations which have a similar focus to NESC in some way or another. However, it is time to prioritise these according to their potential /liklihood to fund NESC.

Research questions to help are:
i) Does the organsation have a profile in Kenya?
ii) Does their philosophy/focus fit with NESC?
iii) Do they provide actual funding, capital or resources directly?

Help research possible funding organizations or corporations that can assist with the Clean Water Project.

Please list the requirements that projects must meet in order to apply for each organization or corporation.

Fred and the members of HICA identified several health care issues in their responses to the "We Can Do" project definition tool. Among these issues were Malaria, HIV/AIDS, family planning, and good hygiene/sanitation.

For this task, I would like to begin collecting information on various health awareness campaigns that we can share with the HICA members. Health awareness and education campaigns are one way that HICA can begin realizing better overall health and make an immediate impact in their community.

One very necessary step in achieving health care in the Kagulu community will be convincing the local government that it is necessary. HICA (Health Ideal Care Africa) has already approached the Ministry of Health, however no progress has been made.
