Happy New Year to all of you our donors, friends and well wishers. Thank you for making 2013 possible and we look forward to your continued support.
About 8 months ago, Kilembe Community came to a standstill because of the floods that devastated the area. It is good that the violent floods that devasted the are took place in the early hours of the morning. Had it not been like that, Kilembe Community would have lsot many lives in just a single sweeping.
The floods were terrible, the pictures say it all. Some three people lost their lives and houses were swept away. All these negative consequences had a bearing on people's lives and day today activities. What is most unfortunate is that, it is the less fortunate who were grosssly affected. Like they say, time is the best healer. The survivors have since moved on and with help from different corners of the country, the community is coping again. The hospital is operational but would still do with some help, the schools are open again and the infrastructure like roads, running water and electricity have since been worked on by the government. The challenge however remains, there are people who lost everything and can still benefit from your support. The best example of these are the old women who sell food stuff in the local market and support their families. They need some business capital to get themon their feet again. Kindly help us achieve this objective with your support.
On a brighter note, i have attached two picrures, both showing the same area, one taken immediately after thefloods and the other showing the same area during the road works. There is definitely a ray of hope. It is our sincere hope that you continue to support this project so that we can empower those that were affectd by the deadly floods.
Best Wishes of the New Year once again.
