Challenge

Currently thre are 15,000.000 fifteen million pupils and stundents in uganda who have been at home for the last six months, This has resulted int depletion of meagre resources since parents have to buy more foodstuffs including basic necessities like soap sugar salt and suntisers which has sometimer resulted into domestic violence redundnducy and un wanted pregnancies,

Solution

Since the project will be targeting increased foodstuffs for human and animals, by using maize stalks elephant grass and maize brand the participants will be kept busy cutting and carrying the raw materials hence decreasing redundnduncy ,The income generated will alleviate the parents expenditure ,and the skills aquired reduce unemplyement,

Long-Term Impact

The project we at at LET US WORK TOGETHER ASSOCIATION believe will go along way in reducing unemployement since only one out of seven school drop outs in our country gets formal employement Increase the icome in our community since the surplus of the products will be sold to landless farmers reduce the level of domestic violence
