The beneficiaries of the Matching Grant Facility, which is
being provided by the National Agricultural Land and Water Management
Development Project (Nema) have expressed heartfelt gratitude
and appreciation to the Benefactor for supporting their various youth groups
with processing and pressing machines.
Last month on 21st June, 2019, fourteen youth
groups across the length and breadth of the country received over sixteen rice,
cereal processing and oil pressing machines through the Nema project Matching
Grant Scheme at a presentation held at its office grounds in Abuko.
The Matching grant is designed to innovate, develop and
build medium term financial services adapted to women and youth groups and
individual-based Small and Medium Enterprises.
In an exclusive with, one of the beneficiaries of the
machines, Ahagie Muya Baldeh, the president of Mbaalondiren Youth Development
Association from Basse in Upper River Region commended the Nema project for the
gesture, noting that the machines came at the right time as there is only one
processing machine in their community which is owned by a Senegalese national.
