Project Summary
KOEEDO seeks to establish a soap processing facility in Siaya to value-add local agricultural produce. The project empowers farmers by creating a market for oil crops like avocado and sunflower.
Intervention Areas
Target Population
Problem Statement
Siaya residents face food insecurity and poverty. Farmers sell produce at low prices due to a lack of value addition, while the region relies on imported soap products.
Proposed Solution
Launch a soap manufacturing plant using locally sourced raw materials (e.g., moringa, coconut). Train farmers to grow high-value oil crops and employ youth in the processing value chain.
Expected Impact
Economic empowerment for rural farmers through guaranteed markets. Creation of employment in production and distribution. Production of affordable hygiene products for the local community.
Sustainability Plan
The business model relies on the sale of soap and detergents. A robust marketing strategy targeting households and institutions ensures revenue generation to cover operational costs and expansion.
