Cashew Processing Gets Underway In Guinea
 Several days after completing his cashew processing training with EWW, Kandjoura Fofana had already processed and sold several kilos of cashews. Although it was a small quantity, the sale was a big deal for Mr. Fofana – he had wanted to own a cashew processing operation for years.

About EnterpriseWorks Worldwide: EnterpriseWorks Worldwide is a non-profit organization that promotes sustainable, business-based solutions to poverty in the developing world.
When I first got to Iringa I asked to see a treadle pump in action, so EWW took me to see a farmer who had purchased a pump long ago.

The farmer lept from his pump and started showing off his plot, telling us about the changes the pump had made. The original size of his plot was barely a quarter its new size, and he was already growing his second harvest when his neighbor's first crop had barely started to dry.
