Cathi's Project ~ MRV Income Generating Projects

MRV Income-Generating Projects

Our long-term goal is to make MRV self-supporting. We have three projects to help us reach that goal in the next five years.

1. A corner/neighborhood store selling daily needed products such as cooking oil, onions & tomatoes, laundry soap, rice, or bread.
   Finances Needed: $5000
   ($3500 to build a storefront; $1500 stock)
   Estimated Net Income: $250-400/mo
2. A public taxi service using two 16-seat vans for transport – one in the city of Pemba, one to make a long distance daily trip to other cities. MRV already owns the two vans – one operational, one needing renovation/repairs.
   Finances Needed: $15,000
   ($4,500 repairs to Van #1; $8000 renovation of Van #2; $2500 license/registration of Van #2)
   Estimated Net Income: $600-800/mo
3. Four- unit complex of small homes or apartments as rental property income.
   Finances needed: $77,500
   ($7500 land; $70,000 for four 2-room homes)
   Estimated Net Income: $1600-2000
