INTRODUTION AND BACKGROUND
Kyamulendu primary schoolwas funded by AFEW- GIRRAFECENTRE on
24th feb 2014 to carry out the project mentioned above. Herein after the Tissue
Culture Horticulture Project from the funds (70,000),we managed to purchase
drip irrigation pipes, seedlings, paid supportservices and indeed we have
successfully initiated a classic Tissue Culture Banana that has successfully
catched up with 600 potential Bananas that are currently being sold by the
Project Management Committee as at 2015.We also bought Polythene paper for
arrowroots and the seedlings .We dug the trench and bought manure using the
same amount. We harvested and realised 4800 within three months and the
green added to the children’s lunch.
OUR KEY PROJECTIONS
 We intend to sell part of the produceto raise ksh50,000 to purchase crisps
cutting machine that costs 150,000.These will have banana value change
capacity building to teachers and community.
 We anticipate that the value change formalization will adequately
strengthen the school, that is teachers ,Board of Management(BOM)
community to perform their mandate with support from AFEW thereby
stimulating commercialization and improvement of Banana value change
in the schooland its environs.
SOCIAL ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

economics benefits to the communities ,the orphaned and vulnerable in
the school. Same for greater involvement of our community partners and
