Notes
Abraham met Kazimbakujira community members to discuss about community economic activities but as soon as he reached it started raining. It rained for an hour and after the rain they decided to move around checking the piggery they started as a community and trees they planted because it was late for the meeting. They started with the LC1 defense Mr Ebera’s home since it is near the meeting place and his wife took them around, Abraham advised her to put cages around them so that they are protected from animals and people. They went to Otim’s home and found his wife who took them where they planted the trees and she was advised to put cages around trees The community came up with three things as a community economic activities: 1 - Before Kibo they started contributing money to buy a tent and chairs but this was not for all community members but only few members. 2- They have a saving scheme but also is for few members not the all community. 3- Kibo suggested for them to get something which will involve all the community members and they came up with piggery. They continued to Okwir Dani’s place where they are keeping their pigs they bought as a community and found him taking care of them. He said that he gave out a part of his land so that they can do a community project ( piggery). He added that when Kibo asked the community what they can do together, they contributed money and decided to buy three pigs as a community and they hope that when the pigs produce they are going to divide themselves into groups to share the labor of looking after them. They started the piggery but the challenge they have is feeding them because maize brand for feeding them is scarce and those people who are selling it is expensively. Abraham advised them to buy maize brand during the harvest time and keep for the dry season so that it helps them not to spend much money during the dry season. They moved to twelve households checking their trees they planted while advising them to remove other branches especially to the mangoes. The community members decided that next Wednesday they are going to mobilize to meet all members. We are continuing discussions on the community economic activities because this a village we want to try anything else which Kibo can support them rather than giving them goats.
