By-Robert Musinguzi KRC-Uganda My name is Shumba Godfrey from Mpara sub-county in Kyegegwa. I am a beneficiary of the Iringa briquette-making and cook stoves sub-project. I am one of the briquette machine operators working for the group to produce briquettes.

The mixture is later put in the machine to make briquettes. With the skills that I gained, I can support the group in simple machine repairs and servicing of the briquette machine. We were provided with a toolbox that helps us maintain […]
