ThreshWorks was awarded $10,000 as 1st Runner-Up at the UNDP Youth Agri-Innovation Pitch Competition — a defining moment that validated our mission and accelerated our path to prototype development. This is more than a win. It is proof that the problem we are solving is real, and that our solution has the potential to change lives.

The transition from design to manufacturing has been one of the most defining stages of our journey — fabricating the frame, drum, and concave system with locally sourced materials.
Following our UNDP pitch competition win, we joined an exchange session with students from Japan — sharing ideas, perspectives, and approaches to innovation across very different contexts.
It started with a visit to the Ministry of Agriculture's Engineering Department in Yundum — and what we saw changed everything. Machines built to help farmers, sitting unused. Poor materials, inefficient systems, excessive vibration. As engineering students, we couldn't ignore it.
