We enjoy working with the Kunama community. To help them to bring about change in their community has been very encouraging.
The result of our awareness raising activites has been that female genital mutilation practices has been greatly reduced. Especially one influential traditional birth attendant has now become a strong advocate against this practice and educates women who come to her and she is also checking on her colleagues to make sure that no-one is backsliding into this practise.
35 women have been assisted to start business. We trained them and we are following them intensively. We had expected difficulties but the women have become shining examples. They are happily doing their business and are keen to expand it.The businesses vary from poultry, goat farming, grain trading to small retail shops.
We thank you for your faithful support to this project. It brings a positive change in the Kunama community.
