The staff of Dufatanye Organization were trained on village/household assessments, and then took a 30-minute motorcycle ride from Nyanza to Kabisine for assessing the newest Village of Hope project. Kabisine is up in the mountains outside of Nyanza where the car path changes to a motorcycle path and ultimately a footpath.
We discovered that the village is the most impoverished in the District. It is the lowest village of a categorized list. We heard from the people that they were surprised we had come because they thought everyone had forgotten about them. They were happy to see the staff of Dufatanye and answer questions to determine their hierarchy of needs. Their needs are vast and many. They suffer from lack of many basic necessities, a harsh living environment and need intervention in a big way.
One of the villagers is a 90 year old man, his home fell down in the last rain, so he is renting a tiny place (rat infested), has no one to help him and no money. Some days he goes without water or food, sometimes his neighbors help him out. He needs our desperately needs our support.
See the attached report for more details..and thank you for supporting this village.
