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.

Small business opportunities provide a means for individuals to support themselves, their families as well as orphans that may be in their care.

The community is looking to start a small micro-loan program which will start with 10 guardians. Each guardian would develop their own business plans and would receive a loan up to $100.

Each loan would be paid back with interest and then be available for the next person waiting for a micro-loan. There are currently over 40 guardians in the project.

The third phase in achieving our goal is to develop training material for the children and teachers. Our core project team (http://www.nabuur.com/en/user/marte/profile) in this work need help to create and complete the following information:

The goal of the Small-scale Farming Project Plan task is to make a practical and well-founded plan for a school garden that provides the most essential food for the school children. The first phase in o achieving this is to do the following research:

• Analyse which crops are suitable (regarding to nutritional values, soil, water, climate, resistance against illnesses, costs, yields etc.)

• Research the Nabuur forum, (e.g., Khaparapada), for discussions about organic farming, no digging, no tilling, no outside inputs, permanent beds, drip irrigation etc.
