No Poverty http://www.kaysalt.com/2016/07/26/no-poverty/ Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:04:44 +0000 http://www.kaysalt.com/?p=272 We practice Kaizen, hence our objectives are to minimize our cost of production so that we can offer our product at an economical price point. We continue to create new business markets, example the out-grower farmers program, where farmers have been encouraged to grow trees for us, so that they can sell them back for income. For our marketing requirements we engaged a community of ladies to make ‘Mwikos’ for us, which we used in our roadshows.

Since 2012, we have built an in-house dispensary at the refinery in Gongoni. This provides all employees access to free primary health care. It also encourages health-promoting behavior in order to strengthen our workforce. In 2015 all staff went through health related training, example HIV awareness. In 2017, we will expand the clinic to take care of different kinds of ailments. In addition we make efforts to bring specialist medical clinics (example Eye clinic, jiggers clinic etc) annually, for the community and staff . Here, community members are treated and operated on by specialized doctors on site.

In 1988, KK Patel primary school was built. In 2003 an additional administration block and 15 more classrooms were built to accommodate 1000 students. Krystalline provided desks for all classrooms as well as a water tank. Since December 2013 the company through its Chairman, contribute towards school furniture and stationary in the value of Kes 500,000/-. Since 2014, we have started a bursary program for Secondary school students who have good results.  Since 2014, we’ve had an internship program, that allows new graduates to experience real work. We have had success in this program as many have joined us after they’ve complete their schooling. Annually we have thousands of students from schools visiting the factory to learn about the science behind making edible salt.

We have invested in water conservation techniques by circulating our effluence and using the same in our refinery. We built a dam in February 2012 in Dodoni area. One of the staff donated two acres of his farm for the construction of the dam. This dam serves about 10,000 villagers in nine villages namely Midodoni A and B, Mandokeni, Kadzuhoni, Dodoma, Msambweni, Karimapaka and Mbuyu wa Kombo. Animals also quench their thirst by drinking at the dam. In 2013 we invested in a Reverse Osmosis plant. This provides clean drinking water to all our staff and the local community. Over 10,000 people collect drinking water per month for free.
