DETAILS
Mission and objectives
CAMAAY is a non-political, non-religious, non-profit association. CAMAAY envisions a society wherein every individual has the opportunity to grow and contribute to the socioeconomic development of the community. We endeavour to achieve our goals through activities that promote sustainable community development in Cameroon. These activities involve strong participation from local community members with the guidance and valuable assistance of CAMAAY and its volunteers. We, the members of the members of Cameroon Association of Active Youths (CAMAAY), a non-profit association, commit ourselves to work in the interest of humanity without distinction as to race, sex or religious background with due respect to the law. We pledge to work closely with other associations, foreign representatives/institutions, NGOs and the Cameroon Government in promoting the principles and practices of quality agriculture, education, healthcare, sports, social well-being and environmental protection. We agree to join forces in the attainment of the United Nations objective in making the world a better place in which to live, with sufficient food and conducive environments. We therefore commit ourselves to achieving our objectives through our activities and the implementation of policies consistent with our objectives. We agree to work with respect to the laws governing the functioning of associations. We believe that: 1) Agriculture is the backbone of our economy. 2) Agriculture is top among our efforts in the fight against poverty, which is a global challenge 3) 80% of our people still live in rural areas and solely depend on agriculture for survival. 4) Our environment is and will remain the only natural habitation for humanity and if care is not taken mankind will be eliminated from his environment. 5) Health is the basic requirement for a productive and progressive community and can only be achieved through what people eat, the environment in which they live and mental well-being. 6)
Context
Tomato processing is an attractive option in potential tomato growing communities in Cameroon, as tomato offers huge scope for value addition and market demand. It can also create employment for many unemployed youths. We have received appeals from local tomato farmers expressing their inability to store fresh tomato fruits they have harvested from their farms.they are forced to sell them at relatively cheaper prices inquiring huge loses. They think that if value is added to the tomato via processing, it would help increase their revenues and provide employment to many youths in the community.
Task description
CAMAAY is looking for online volunteers to help come up with an industrial design for a tomato processing plant. The design is a processing plant for the conversion of raw tomato into tomato paste. The design specifics a production of 150 tons per day of tomato paste. The volunteers will come up with the process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagram, equipment selection, design specification, sizing and mechanical design of different unit operations involved in the process. Estimation of capital investment and operating cost.
