Luos everywhere are seriously looking at their clans and villages as centers for economic empowerment. This is as it should be. After all, this is the real home. The place with your real land and house and your own trees and flowers. The place where you will be laid to rest at the end of this life. The place where your ancestors are buried. Shouldn’t it be made the most beautiful Eden in the world? Of course. And who should plant this garden and make it beautiful? You! So let us get started. Every village has their own distinct natural composition and only you know what economic development will work or not work for you. Here are a few suggestions to get you thinking about making your village self reliant. Tilapia fish is in high demand overseas. Fishermen can’t get enough of it from lake Victoria. Would you like your village to do tilapia fish farming in a commercial scale? All kinds of grains are needed by the UN and NGO’s all over the world to feed hungry and displaced people.

How about a guava glue plant? You would need to grow acres of it. When sugar cane is harvested, then processed into sugar, all that stock of leaves and stem is left behind and often wasted. Does your village want to pick it up for cheap and make environmental friendly paper with it in your environmentally friendly village paper mill? You can also make very strong building materials with it. Your villaage may have some unique features that makes it attractive to tourists.
