DESCRIPTION
CHAKUISHI is a transformative initiative, centered in the impoverished artisanal mining region of Kolwezi, DRC, aimed at fostering self-sustainable and locally owned Social Enterprises, with a primary focus on innovative agriculture and fish farming.
In designing CHAKUISHI in 2018, THINK GLOBAL employed a meticulous approach. The project’s sector selection was guided by a rigorous pre-feasibility and full feasibility study, emphasizing resource mobilization rather than international investment.
The project’s initial framework involved the creation of 16 ponds and the development of 20 hectares of agricultural land, featuring cutting-edge irrigation systems. Additionally, THINK GLOBAL orchestrated the comprehensive training of the local staff, enabling them with essential skills and knowledge.
THINK GLOBAL’s contributions in project design, sector selection, feasibility assessments, and capacity building have been instrumental in empowering the local community and fostering economic growth in Kolwezi. CHAKUISHI represents a beacon of hope, facilitating self-sustainability and prosperity in a region that has faced adversity for far too long.
