Kerela

In 2006 Following three years of negotiations  twenty two sites were installed in Kerela and one Tamil Nadu. Each site consisted of four regular sized DME units. Six of these sites, comprising of 32 press units, belong to the SUBICSHA organisation.  SUBICSHA empowers women to start group community businesses all based on the coconut. Already, it has spawned a large number of beneficiaries providing jobs directly to 4,000 women and indirectly to 3,000 women. Five years later, SUBICSHA has developed 40 separate products from coconut. Chris did a four week installation trip in early 2006 and Chris and Dan returned for the inauguration and final training in late 2006.
