Problems/concerns:

Purchase of equipment needed to be done at a supplier outside Soroti city and delivery takes a lot of time.

Problems/concerns:

The Uganda Government disbanded the Rural electricity Agency (REA). Since October 2022 the power line has not been switched on. The contractor the government contracted to build the 3 km line from the highway to our community has not been paid. Since we couldn't wait any longer, we hired an engineer who has designed a bakery system which uses charcoal, he has installed all machines.
We are waiting for the cans, the cakes and scones trays, locally made, the material is ordered from Mbale.
Because of the Ebola lockdown, transport and deliveries are impossible.
