• Agriculture Modernization Practices: TATCO-Uganda has experienced and skilled agriculturalists who voluntarily decided to work with the organization in Njeru Town Council to train the local people better ways of carrying out agriculture which is productive. This is due to the available and fertile land that lies on the shores of Lake Victoria and the nearness to Mabira forest which provides a good environment for agriculture. Demonstration farms have been set up which act as study centers to the local farmers
• Women development projects: We start up and organize small women development projects which makes them busy and get some income in order to uplift their living standards. For now we have a women group handling a project of catering and wine production which needs to be modernized and developed so that it can get to the world market
