Hi Emmanuel,
I am so proud of Wakitaka Youth. This is a big step forward having won this grant. How much is the grant, and when are they going to start the briquette making? Is this then a new group of youth that have not been involved so far? Let us know if you need any specific advise or support for this project.
Best wishes,
Maria
Emmanuel - you must be so proud of the work you have completed in 3 short years(or is it only 2?)- it is really quite amazing! And please relay my congratulations to the hardworking youths who have made this all possible under your guidance. Bravo!

Hi All;
We are still making a few adjustments in the budget that the funders suggested to add/subtract. We will therefore communicate about the final amount at a later time. This will be another group of youth who will benefit from the briquette making business dubbed as "Cook Clean and Save the Environment." The project duration is one year after which the funders will pullout for the youth to sustain the business. We are happy the youth will benefit from various trainings including entrepreneurship.
Kind Regards,
Emmanuel
