As poverty relief champions, we believe that when mothers have food, children have food.
Annually, Ntungo Noble Projects raises funds for helping single mothers buy fertilizer the most important input in food crop production. For elderly mothers, Ntungo Noble Projects provides funding to pay for labour for cultivating the fields.
Budget
The annual budget for food security of mothers is $2000.
Sustainability
To ensure sustainability of the food security program, Ntungo Noble Projects plans to establish a Mwambezi village Food Security Endowment Fund for the people of Mwambezi village in the amount of $250,000. Proceeds from the endowment fund will be used to support crop farming.
Poverty Reduction Empowerment Plan Maize Storage Facility Construction
About January to March every year Mwambezi village runs out of maize, which is the main staple food. People have to trek to Mbala town to fetch maize or Mealie Meal. This is a short period of hardship.
In response to this challenge, Ntungo Noble Projects plans to construct a Grain Storage Facility at Mwambezi village. Households will have to bank their crop with the storage facility. When need arises in the rainy season, as it always does from January to March, households can withdraw their crop from the grain storage facility. (Remember the account about Joseph in Egypt.)
Ntungo Noble Projects is optimistic that this will become the culture of the village.
Budget
The budget for constructing the grain storage facility is $70,000.
Sustainability
To ensure sustainability of the grain storage facility, Ntungo Noble Projects plans to establish a Mwambezi Village Poverty Reduction Infrastructure Endowment Fund in the amount of $250,000.
Annual proceeds from this fund will be used to maintain the village infrastructure, including the grain storage facility.
