Our coordinators and Champion farmers from Chamwino District have started a campaign to ensure that each village in the district has four demonstration sites for Rainwater Harvesting Fanya juu/chini trenches. This will help to educate and activate other 28,000 farmers in the district. 30 villages down, 20 to go! We are super happy for them since they are doing this out of their own initiative

We are happy to see that after receiving our education on rainwater harvesting through our champion farmers; many farmers were motivated and they have applied this technique in their farms.

Rainwater harvesting Fanya juu/chini trenches enable farmers retain more rainwater in their farms from little rains in arid areas like Dodoma. The technique also prevents vicious circle of soil erosion from run offs and contributes to prolonged moist soils for crops and less washing away of vegetation/seeds for healthy lands and biodiversity.

“Conserve Kiboriani-the Fountain of Life” Project has continued to grow steadily, in spite of a few setbacks. The planned activities in the six project villages were carried out as planned. The landmark was the joint workshop for Mpwapwa and Kongwa district leaders, led by their District Commissioners. The workshop was most richly blessed by the extremely enlightening and winsome presentations of Tony and Liz Rinaudo from World Vision Australia, and Assefa Tofu from World Vision East Africa Office. It was opened by Archbishop Jacob Chimeledya of the Anglican Church of Tanzania who is also Bishop of the Diocese of Mpwapwa.

The workshop occasion was used also to formally launch FMNR in Mpwapwa and Kongwa districts, with launch symbols of four living tree stumps pruned by Tony Rinaudo, Assefa Tofu, and the two District Commissioners. The training and the fellowship left an indelible mark in the minds and hearts of participants.
