Notes
Ida went to Kitukiro to remobilize the community on when to resume the empowerment lessons. Ida and the chairperson and some few members inspected some few homes (8). After the inspection they went at the meeting place and found some few members.Ida told the members the members the reason as to why she had visited and that was to inform the community that the resuming of the health and Spiritual empowerment program was soon. Health and Spiritual empowerment had paused the activities to give Mvule program enough time during the rains.The community was happy to start the lessons and asked Ida to give them some two weeks because they are still harvesting their crops. The chairperson thanked the few people who were around and gave them a task to go and mobilize all the members of their community so that they come in big numbers for the general meeting in two weeks time. Tofa concluded with a prayer and the meeting was adjourned. 
Next Visit
2019-12-13 - Purpose: To assess the knowledge and understanding of the previous lessons so that she knows where to begin from.
Program Success
They started a church which meets under a mango tree where Kibo conducts its lessons.
Program Critical Needs
They need a borehole because the one they’re using is strained hard which leads to breaking frequently.
Program Ownership
They met as a group and decided to meet every Saturday for Bible study led by Martin Kibuuka’s wife.
Other Program Observations
Though their borehole is over pumped and breaks all the time, they have kept it working because of the money they collect from members. They always repair their borehole when broken.
Program Expected Of Village
The community will continue mobilize and tell all members about the lessons that are yet to resume.
Program Staff Preparations Next Visit
Ida and chairperson will be communicating when to have a general meeting and pre-view the previous lessons to assess the knowledge and understanding in order to tell where to begin from since on hold.
