Short Description
Main Objective
Mucho Mangoes Farmers CBO’s project seeks to create the Bustani Resort; a solar and biogas-powered sustainable eco-tourism resort. The resort will provide a mixture of hotel and homestay accommodation to its visitors, thus providing an opportunity for income generation for members of the local community, majority of whom are small scale subsistence farmers.
This project will also construct a complete cultural centre that includes 15 mud walled and grass thatched rooms, a traditional restaurant and kitchen, hall, a space for conducting traditional music and dances, and a reception. A demonstration farm will also be constructed for agricultural and animal produce.
