A Self-Sufficient Future ?
DRE and HFCOE have a long term plan of building an enterprise that allows HFCOE to be economically independent in a number of years.
Given that DRE has a large support base from the WA Wheatbelt, we are hoping to draw on that those agricultural skills to build an income generating enterprise in Ethiopia.
Steps Ahead:
- Secure land
- Business Plan appropriate to land qualities
- Build relationship with local community
- Build required structures
- Purchase livestock or other essential components
