In 2025, CFC proposes to support the installation of four more threshers in the following communities: Aniwás, Yakalpananí, Amak and an additional machine in San Andres managed by the Women’s Organization WIMPA. Amak is outside the Miskito territory, in a neighbouring village of Mayagna indigenous peoples. This community has been participating in various educational, water, and cultural projects for decades with CFC. They are eager to operate a rice thresher in their community to serve their residents. The total population of the beneficiary communities is estimated at over 10,000 people in 1600 households.

The six threshers are being operated under the leadership of WIMPA, the Miskito Indigenous Women’s Association, which has proved to be more equitable and economically successful than the first phase of rice threshers managed by the territorial Indigenous government. minutes. Families also save money by relying less on imported rice, strengthening food self-sufficiency. The six new threshers now join this growing network, helping over 12,000 people across the region move toward greater food security and gender equity.
