Reducing distance. Improving income.

In Natoot village, Kanamkemer Ward, the Akwanga Self Help Group now runs a solar milling service through PAIR’s partnership with Agsol.

Milling closer to home

Before the mill, families had to travel to town for milling services. Now they can mill in the village: less travel, lower costs, more income. The mill is managed by the group’s 30 members, and its service benefits the wider village.
