Precious Kantande
Stove Builder
Meet Precious Kantande, 25 years old and married to Atupele Chikopa. He is one of our outstanding stove builders and the father to two children - Miracle and Glitter.
Precious told us that he likes working for Mbedza Projects Support because the monthly review meetings give him a chance to 'voice out the goodness and the challenges they face during their work.'
Precious said that he has benefitted because the employment gives him security and a salary.
As a result of this he has been able to engage in integrated farming - 'I saved some money to build a fish pond and can sell fish at a profit.
have also used my earnings to buy goats (I have 7), ducks, chickens, doves and start rabbit farming. I was motivated by the tree project to plant my own fruit trees - pawpaw, guavas and peaches. I also have a vegetable garden.
Finally working for MPS 'has brought a life full of happiness and joy with my dreams coming true. I am able to support my mother on a monthly basis and my community by providing ducks.'
