This project has the objective to reduce the time needed to grind the daily supply of grain and millet and to use this time for other activities. |
|
Traditionally the grinding of millet and grain for daily meal is done by women and girls. They spent many hours grinding grain and millet in a mortar until they have turned to flour. This is very strainious and extremely time consuming job. Therefore a mill would be a lasting measure that would drastically reduce the preparation time of the meals and there would be more time left for child care and other activities. |
|
Pictures of the first mill NEEED consturcted in SAYE, you will find here. The mill is run by a generator and is at disposal to everyone in the village and to the people of villages close by. For administrative purposes a committee of nine people was chosen. A low fee is charged to secure that there is enough money for replacement pieces as well as for the costs of running the mill. |
|
The construction of the mill was paid by sponors from Pettenbach (Austria). The once in a life - time investment was 3,000 €. |
|
At the moment no mills are planned. |
