We are currently in a position where we have designed a number of
innovative solutions to support economic growth, landmine removal and
food production. However, we are struggling to locate an investor to the
company or donor to the charity who appreciates this technology and is
willing to grasp this opportunity. We would be helping with such issues
as landmine removal, agricultural and community development and further
development within the manufacturing industry with associated export
markets and general economic growth.
Our objective is to develop and produce machinery/systems that
increase the safety and efficiency of the landmine removal industry
while facilitating a reduction in the operating costs and an increase in
revenue, thus making it possible for financial gain to be had from
undertaking humanitarian works and so bring about a dramatic increasing
in the number of companies and organisations undertaking these
much-needed tasks.
To develop the full-scale production facilities for the MDM (Modular
De-Mining) machine, will require an investment of $2.85million US
Dollars, however this could be broken down into smaller phases allow the
building of a basic prototype MDM machine to undertake vegetation
clearance, landmine removal and crop planting. This would then attract
additional investor confidence and hopefully, pave the way for the
further investment into the full production facilities. There are also
plans to build the agricultural derivative of the MDM machine called the
CropMaker. This is a much simpler machine that is able to effectively,
plough, de-stone, cultivate, seed, fertilize and roll simultaneously,
this would help with agricultural development as well as our own
financial sustainability.
One of the reasons that this has never been done before on such a
large scale is because the commercial cost of removing landmines was
higher than the potential agricultural returns. However, by reducing
this cost through the novel Modular De-Mining system methodology and
with the ability to simultaneously plant crops for food, or other modern
crops for industrial starch or crops to help the economy such as oilseed
rape to produce bio-diesel as mineral oil reserves diminish, we believe
that we are now able to tip the scales in favour of large-scale mine
removal. Many countries have now signed up to the Ottawa treaty to
remove landmines; the potential of this is huge.
Wherever we set up manufacturing these machines, it will help to
strengthen the local economy and encourage economic development and
exports. Our problem is the funding to take the project forward. Some
funding bodies have expressed an interest mainly via match funding, but
as yet we have nothing to match it with. Please consider this, (see
whole site) and let us know if there are any means by which we could
move forward with this important project, either through investment into
the commercial company or by a philanthropic donation to the charity or
the sponsorship of a machine. If you are able to help make this happen,
please contact us. |
