ZIMBABWE: CHAMBUTA REFUGEE CAMP


We called them "Glory Grinders." They ground the maize (corn) into mealie meal which was their staple diet.
Local farmers would bring their maize to the camps to be ground. The machine's efficiency meant they got about 20% more useable mealie meal. The camp charged 20% of the mealie meal for grinding it.
Everybody won!
