200 new champion farmers from Mpwayungu division of Dodoma have attended our Kisiki Hai Training of Trainers (ToT) training that involves restoration of dry landscapes. The training was 2 days long that included Kisiki Hai restoration technique, planting of Gliricidia trees and methods to collect data of trees. The training was a huge success; from sharing experiences and learning from experts as well as finding out the best way to make the project a success. The trainings allowed more relaxed and natural interactions to occur, and helped to inspire shared excitement and passion around dryland restoration.

The trained champion farmers will inspire thousands of other farmers to restore 400,000 trees using Kisiki Hai and plant 100,000 Gliricidia trees, this will be done in partnership with One Tree Planted and World Resource Institute through #TerraFund for #AFR100 initiative. The champion farmers will be the most passionate advocates, sharing the approach with others in their community, as well as communicating and inspiring others through training, demonstration and mentoring.
