With support from Africa Development Promise, Epaphroditus grown from a small operation into a promising cooperative business. They now own land, have a large mushroom grow house fitted with solar powered water mister and a solar dryer. When Africa Development Promise started working with the cooperative their biggest expense was the purchase of pre-made mushroom spawn bags (a common method for mushroom cultivation) at approximately $1 each. To cut down on this expense, ADP sponsored technical training and with the new skills, Epaphroditus reduced its costs by making its own bags, and increased its profits by selling them, in addition to selling mushrooms.
