Its Midweek! CATBIE and Partners are teaming up to bring solar-powered cold rooms to three key project locations: KABALA, Kenema, and Waterloo. They're on a mission to reduce food waste and boost local businesses.

To make it happen, the project is engaging with local stakeholders - like the City Councils, Traders Union, and other authorities - to understand what the markets really need. By providing cold storage in these strategic spots, the aim is to minimize post-harvest losses and help local SMEs increase their income. 💪
