The number of Fanya Juu and Chini in our project area in Dodoma has increased from 373 to 2,299 in one year time. The total length increased from 15,000 meters to 75,000 meters

Farmers in Dodoma, Tanzania learned and are now implementing a regreening technique to use next to Kisiki Hai: Fanya Juu and Fanya Chini. Fanya Chini means ‘throw it downwards’: rainwater that hits the soil just outside of the farmer’s land is caught in trenches, so the farmer’s fertile land doesn’t wash away. Fanya Juu means ‘throw it upwards’: trenches are dug on the farmer’s land, capturing the rain and allowing it to infiltrate into the soil. This makes the farmer’s land more fertile again.
