In September 2013 KIHO, as one of the most community-oriented NGOs in Same District, received a dairy cows project proposal by the farmers’ community group of Chome ward.

KIHO carefully examined the project and proposed 2 main suggestions to make it as much relevant as possible to its core principles: 1) an integrated approach; 2) gender equality through women’s representation.

KIHO is proud to announce that the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has awarded us (KIHO) as a local cooperating partner for the second time in a row. Six out of nine project proposals that we submitted in May 2013 to WFP have been approved for the implementation in the financial year 2013/2014. These “Food for Asset Creation” projects include four gravity water projects in Chajo, Gonjanza, Malindi and Mwembe as well as two market access road constructions in Tae-Mongoloma and Minyala-Matongo.

Beekeeping could reduce conflict in Ruvu

There is another project proposal that KIHO has submitted to the U.S. embassy last Friday. We asked for the support of a beekeeping group called Umoja wa Wafugaji Nyuki Vumari (UWAVU or “Union of the Beekeepers in Vumari”). Since 2010, UWAVU practices beekeeping in Ruvu, an area of high-tension along the Pangani river basin, an ideal place for beekeeping. In the meantime, also the Maasai community has become interested in this activity and want to join UWAVU. Consequently, they need some external support. Therefore, KIHO wrote a proposal in English for them, based on several discussions and meetings with UWAVU and the new Maasai members. They hope to receive 60 “modern” beehives, equipment and harvesting tools.

Submitting a project proposal for a water irrigation pond

Today we have submitted a project proposal for the “U.S. Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund” which is organized by the U.S. embassy in Dar es Salaam. It is only a grant of $5,000 (an equivalent to TSH 8 million), but it could change the live of smallholder farmers in the Pare mountains. The project is to restore and upgrade a water irrigation pond in Mhero village located close to Shengena Forest. An initiative from Mhero approached a KIHO delegation during a visit in early February 2013, and stressed that one of their main needs are the restoration of water irrigation ponds to allow farming throughout the year and combat food insecurity.
