Through the nucleus for spiral development model, communities are empowered to become able to be part of various production cycles. Currently, by far the most formidable obstacle to all of the operations is finding and securing the feedstock to produce the vegetable oil that companies such as Ecomoz (who produces bio-diesel from coconut oil), requires. Hende is involved with many different efforts to secure a steady supply of feedstock for the growing demand. Not nearly enough infrastructure and reliable systems exist to produce the feedstock (such as coconut copra, jatropha, etc.) on the scale that large production corporations require. In line with this need, the efforts of Hende concern basic economic development and broad based upliftment of current and aspiring farmers, so that the needed economic systems to produce enough coconut copra will exist. This is gradually achieved through the triple trend approach.

The collection point pilot project ran during 2007 and 2008 and we are now ready to establish family / entrepreneur based collection points and family oil producers based on the model we developed during  the pilot phase.

During the past five years Hende Wayela has actively been involved in projects and research concerning the social and economic development of Mozambique. Research has been done in various spheres and is still an ongoing process. Alternative energy resources as well as sustainable agricultural programmes have been investigated and successfully launched and a variety of new project ventures have been identified. To date ZAR 20 Million has been invested in Infrastructure in Mozambique.

Although the most visible project of Hende Wayela is currently its involvement with Ecomoz, and therefore bio-diesel, Hende Wayela's interest in bio-diesel is simply that it is an anchor industry with the potential to provide people with sustainable incomes. Ecomoz was formed because an immediate need for bio-diesel exists. The Agricultural development is however geared to go way beyond the mere supply of coconut copra for bio-diesel - as soon as new industries become feasible, Hende Wayela will utilise all of the knowledge and experience it has gained so far to empower the communities that it developed to cater for these new industries and their opportunities.

Still, it remains vital that the people will be economically uplifted, secondly that Ecomoz will prosper and then the focus will shift to new industries. Why all of this will be possible is because Hende Wayela's approach is dynamic and hands-on. The streamlined management structure of the company means decisions can be made and executed extremely fast. This allows management the opportunity to adapt operational and implementation strategies on the ground without lengthy time delays. The biggest success story so far of Hende Wayela and its approach is the implementation of the triple trend program

Through the fusion of corporate interests and truly sustainable development needs in this project, many opportunities arise – both for lucrative businesses and for true development. Hende ensures that both are attained.

What is important to note is that Hende Wayela develops the systems and infrastructure behind industries and communities – it is irrelevant which community or industry may be at play. Currently, Hende Wayela is much involved with the coconut copra and bio-diesel industry as a starting point – however, still, the focus for Hende Wayela is on the principles of development, ensuring that the systems is in place for the people to develop themselves so that they will be able to take advantage of any opportunity presented by any industry.
