PRODUCT / SERVICE

Mr. Odundo from Kisumu is all about adding value to the raw material sisal. He did this with the mechanical use of a processing machine called Sisal Decorticator, that adds value to the sisal by turning it into rope that can be sold for 100 shillings. This means 95 shillings profit!

NEXT STEP

Looking for mentors to explore new ideas and the chance to sell this idea for maximization of the business. Alex idea is to empower the person(s) living in semi arid areas to venture in this business.
