As we embark on a journey to shape the future of the people of Mombuni Village, Mombuni Youth For Change wishes to spell out some of the problems facing the village community.
1. We have had no sufficient rains for the last three years and absolutely no agricultural produce has been realised ever since. The land is dry and parched.
2. Our people are facing an acute shortage of food as many struggle to put a single meal on table. These people need food as a matter of urgency.
3. There is a chronic shortage of clean drinking water. The nearest seasonal river is running dry by the wake of each day.
4. Our animals are dying with the passing of each day. The most revered animal, the donkey is struggling to survive the harsh drought conditions, an indication that the situation is gloom. There is hardly any pasture for grazing.
5. Many secondary school students are at home due to school fees arrears. This problem has been aggravated by the biting food shortage. We may see an increased number of school drop-outs if nothing is done urgently.
6. HIV/AIDS victims are losing their lives due to lack of proper nutrition and counselling on the management of the pandemic.
7. The environment needs a serious face lift.
These are some of the problems we are grappling with and which we seek to address. We are committed to providing solutions to each of these problems. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one powerful step. We are prepared to start from scratch.
Mombuni Youth.
