This Mulaphi Rare Resources Mining Limited project in Katemo Village is contributing to sustainable livelihoods for the communities in which we operate. Founded in 2014, the Cooperative provides agri-business opportunities for women working in agriculture by bringing some 300ha of land under cultivation. Mulaphi Rare Resources Mining Limited provides the land, tools, fertilisers, seeds, personal protective equipment and training needed for more efficient farming and to work towards becoming financially self-sustaining, and dug the boreholes needed for irrigation and improved crop yields. Mulaphi Rare Resources Mining Limited also offers agricultural engineering expertise through skills transfer programmes to enable expand crop offerings, and provides a market for the Cooperative’s farmers to sell their produce. Each month, Mulaphi Rare Resources Mining Limited also supports food security by distributing approximately 1,000 tonnes of maize around 2,000 employee families. Maize mills purchased by Mulaphi Rare Resources Mining Limited provide a steady income for community members.
