Narrative Report October 2011
This is a great period in the life of our project. The women beneficiaries will manage the project with effect from January 2012. This will entail them choosing a committee and a Director from among themselves. Next report will be developed by the new Director.
Last period we reported that we had put up a partial house. We have not completed it but will do so soon. We are focusing on transfering the land into the women's representatives' names. The representatives wil be agreed upon by the women. After giving the women their land, we shall move to an advisory role supporting the women to manage and to plan the work and gradually disappear to let the women take charge of their own lives.
Some of the changes will be small while others will be deeply felt. The machines acquired and kept in the Director's house will now move to the Peace Center. Two women will sleep in the house. The office will be in that very house. The women will be agreed upon at the next meeting. Some women have already requested to be the ones to stay in the common house.
One continuing challenge is that our country continues to be severely hit by inflation thereby affecting the price of construction materials. We are also being faced with the effects of the recession in developed countries. We shall be updating you on the future of the project as it unfolds.
We appreciate your generous gifts.
