Improve Livelihoods of 225 HIV-Affected Families

As we start the year 2021, we pray and believe that the year will be successful, full of opportunities and good progress in all sectors. We also pray and wish our donors, well-wishers and friend a fruitful year with more success. Our direct beneficiaries in this project are progressing well and as everybody else it’s their hope that all will be well in this year in the whole world. They are in the process of preparing their farms in readiness for planting during the long rain season expected from mid-March. We are proud of them as they have been working very hard and they practice what they learn in seeds and planting materials preservation. As the rain was plenty last year, they were busy in their farms throughout the year and most of them preserved seeds for planting. We will be organizing more trainings in the course of the year and we always encourage them to visit ministry of Agriculture in their areas for consultation and technical back-stoppings. Since they are well trained and capacitated, they are confident when engaging and socializing with other people and even staff and officials from different departments. Water harvesting challenge is one of the activities that we want to prioritize this year and we will be fundraising for the activity. We had this initiative in the previous years but we had challenges in raising funds to cater for the need. Most households in many regions have no access to running water and it is even worse during the dry spell. By taking advantage of the rains during the rainy seasons we believe that households will have water for domestic use and irrigating their small kitchen gardens especially where they have vegetables as our beneficiaries highly require them for their nutrition needs. To realize the initiative of water harvesting, we welcome our friends, well-wishers, donors and friends to contribute to our project for us to install water harvesting structures in the households of our beneficiaries. We also intend to have ground water collections where we intend to establish simple water pans in various farms mainly for irrigation and for the livestock. Thank you for your continued support and we appreciate all your contributions since we started this project. It is one of the most successful project in the platform and tangible results have been realized through our beneficiaries. Stay safe and we wish you all the best in the year 2021.
