The Horizon mill project will provide a maize mill, like this one, in Fort Portal.

Fort Portal
This will be Horizon's first entry into the area of microfinance, bringing sustainable economic growth to the Fort Portal area. Microfinance is a regional revolving loan fund that creates jobs through new business ventures.

The first loan of $80,000 will launch the maize mill project, which will employ up to 18 people full time. The maize produced by the mill will help feed the 10,000 orphans who are waiting to be sponsored through Horizon. Maize from the mill will also be sold to the general public to help generate income for future projects in the region. When the loan for the maize mill is paid off, the money will be recycled for other loans.

Fort Portal
Once the maize mill is completed, the second microfinance project will be the creation of a dairy farm. Land has been secured for this development. This complex will have a dairy farm, an orphans home, staff quarters and offices, a church, and a medical clinic.
