We clearly understand that the only way to get ahead is to get started. We have started the extreme makeover process for our village. Young people have started digging terraces and contours for water harvesting. We have began preparing holes in preparation of tree planting during the short rains in October. We are holding capacity-building and mobilisation meetings on a fortnight basis.
However, in order to reclaim the village's lost glory, we must push forward at a faster pace. We will need more community work tools, more trees, intense environmental conservation training, more youth social workers, and more community organizers among other essentials.
For a start, we urgently need the working tools/implements as follows:-
- 15 Wheelbarrows .......... 67,500.00
- 20 Spades/Shovels ......... 8,000.00
- 10 Mattocks .................... 4,000.00
- 20 Digging hoes ................4,000.00
- 10 Fork Jembes .............. 3,500.00
Total in Kenya Shillings....87,000.00
Total in USD.........................1,130.00
These tools and implements will greatly increase our capacity and make our community social work a success. In fact, this is our most urgent need at the moment. With this support trees will be planted, earth roads repaired, and vegetable gardens brought up.
Please support us financially or in kind, to help us speed up the reconstruction of the village.
Feel free to ask for our details.
With gratitude,
Christopher Mutisya
