FSD Partner Organization:
Kitovu Mobile AIDS Organization
FSD Intern, Tanya Probert, worked with Kitovu Mobile to utilize indigenous micro-organism (IMO) technology, which teaches enhanced farming methods, allowing community members to do more with limited resources. This project now serves as a model for other farmers, providing training and information they can bring to their own homes.

FSD supports REAP in developing “model homes” for other communities to replicate. For example, FSD supported a sustainable “biogas” system, which is a locally identified solution to addressing deforestation, depleting natural resources and lack of electricity by maximizing farming methods in remote, rural villages.

FSD Partner Organization:
Western Water and Sanitation Forum (WEWASAFO)
Mwiyala Primary and intern, Dillon Zang, were awarded an FSD grant to pilot an Ecosan latrine addressing a recurring need for improved sanitation at this school. The latrine serves as a fertilizer for more environmentally-friendly waste disposal and an example for others to replicate in the surrounding area.
