THE SATEMWA JB ENGAGES A PREMIUM FUNDS MANAGER

Having learnt a lesson out of other JB ' governance problems regarding the managing of Fair trade premium funds, the Satemwa Joint Body have engaged the services of Mr. Mike Shaw a VSO volunteer as a Funds/Project Coordinator.
Mr. Shaw is the second VSO volunteer to work on Satemwa after Trudy Nichols whose placement saw the improvement of education systems on Satemwa Primary School, the establishment of a training department and later the human resource development department.
It is our hope that this palcement will bring about improvements in issues of governance, capacity building within the JB members in respect of premium use and long term project identification.
This has coincided with the onset of the main cropping season hence giving the JB an upper hand regarding whatever premium will be realised out of this seasons tea sales
