Harvest Paradise
Our First
Harvest Paradise
第一号ハーベストパラダイス
In December 2021, construction of the first “Harvest Paradise” project was completed in Kakwema Village, on the outskirts of Kisumu City, Kenya.
“Harvest Paradise” was officially launched in February 2022 as a community upliftment project. This project enables people to acquire safe and inexpensive drinking water without completing time-consuming journeys. The project has also introduced various workshops where people in the local community can earn an income. The project was completed with financial support from Saraya Co. Ltd.
WATER KIOSK
ウォーターキオスク（水売店）
The heart of Harvest Paradise is the water kiosk. These women no longer have to complete difficult, time-consuming journeys to fetch water. They now have the opportunity to earn an income.
Harvest Paradise Income:
We plan to construct a water bottling facility which will provide a source of income for the project in Kenya. We plan to sell bottled water as an original product to hotels, bars, supermarkets etc. to cover the necessary expenses for the operation of Harvest Paradise.
Bottling Specifications (Planned):
Water treatment process: Sand Filtration – MF Membrane – RO membrane – UV Sterilization.
Bottling method: Manual
Production capacity: 500ml x 15,000 bottles/day.
WORKSHOP
ワークショップ
A workshop where women in the village work. They no longer need to travel for hours to fetch water every day. These workshops provide a source of income for the women in the community.
Beautiful African goods are made and distributed to Japan through Harvest Moon.
We also provide guidance on product design and production.
Model:
The goods made in the workshop were marketed by the creator herself acting as a
model.
