Hello supporters, friends, and supporters-to-be!
The Smart Villages team have just returned from a successful trip to Terrat in Northern Tanzania, involving installing new solar-powered boreholes in the surrounding communities!
The dairy is making steady progress, with all of the repairs being completed and the dairy facilities being fully functional once again. However, once key ingredient is currently in short supply... you guessed it- milk!
Due to the fact that it is still the dry season, we are still waiting for all of the the cows to return to the area again, as there is still not a large enough food supply to cater for the big dairy cows required at the dairy. However, this will change once the rains return in the coming months.
To overcome this, Osidai, who is in charge of the dairy is making an innovative plan to start the dairy on a small-scale, with just milk from a few cows. This will mean that the dairy can start operating as a business again, and will also encourage women from the surrounding area to start bringing milk to the dairy again.
Your donations will help us provide more support to this very worthwhile project, so please give generously!
Thank you,
Iona and the Smart Villages Team
