In September the villagers dug 5,143 bunds so that they could capture every raindrop in the coming rain season. This was done with help of an App that linked donors directly to the villagers. The app was linked to Mpesa; the local payment method.

This resulted in 15 participants from centre-east Tanzania (Igunga) and a number from north Tanzania (Mbaash). After they had seen the Kisik Hai documentary, they were eager to learn
These people have just received a colored stick from us. They are trainers from the Kongwa district in Dodoma who will keep track of the number of trees and the height of each tree with these colourful sticks.
These facilitators specifically monitor the re-greening by the farmers they have trained before. For each height (color) the facilitators can shade how many trees a farmer has. For example blue (50-100 cm): 34 trees. Green (200 + cm): 12 trees. Etcetera. In the corresponding
