The ministry of trade and industry (MINICOM) in conjunction with Rural Small and Medium promotion projects (PPPMER) has donated, 32 bicycles and one computer to a potters cooperative (COPORWA), the aim is to facilitate their work.
While handing over the equipments to the cooperative, MINICOM minister Francois Kanimba encouraged the potters to be more hard working rather than basing their progress on sponsorships.
In addition, Kanimba advised the potters to come up with quality products since it not only promote their sales locally but also in foreign markets. The intervention is in line with the ministry’s program to support (SMEs) to acquire latest technology aimed at improving their delivery.
What’s more, PPPMER will offer literacy training to the potters in a bid to advance their communication skills particularly when dealing with foreign clients.

The RCA director Damien Mugabo noted that the donation will help them to reach out to members specially those under the crop intensification program which has so far shown progress in various parts of the country.
