Potato seeds multiplication and distribution project in Pilikambi, Lagaip district.
In partnership with Fresh Produce Development Agency (FPDA) we are developing clean potato seeds to distribute to farmers. Next stage is to train potato farmers with intent to foster farmers capacity building in the Lagaip district.

Our potato farm is hit hard by prolonged dry spell and direly needs a constant supply of water.

I am thrilled to announce that Lagaip Poverty Relievers Association is the recipient of the German Embassy grant assistance to construct Wanepap Cultural Resources Center building. This project is co-funded by the Government of Ireland through the Irish Aid and Sambe Unity Development Association. It's partnership between the National Cultural Commission and the Lagaip Sangai Festival to preserve, protect and promote cultural heritages, historical objects and documentaries.

It will be a archive for vast collections of rituals, poems, histories, myths and legendaries. It's a center for cultural learning for the children to gain cultural knowledge and insights. It will be our community-based mini museum for preservation of dozens of artefacts and crafts, traditional costumes, objects bearing cultural significance. The building also serves other crucial purposes like fully furnished conference office to provide community-based capacity building programs in partnership with our development partners in the areas of climate adaption and mitigation initiatives, farming, sizeable kitchen for women to engage in local food formulation and room for temporary storage of humanitarian aids, and Sangai studio music and media production among others. The second floor exclusively consists of standard rooms for guests, tourists and visitors. I express my profound gratitude to the Federal Republic of Germany for the allocation of much needed support that will be used to procure entirely the materials required for construction.
