Tawawami Develops the Pastoral Community
with a Poultry Project
African farmers are extremely hard working and with the right support, they could dramatically enhance their productivity and prosperity. It is essential that the African governments, International donors, academic institutions and agriculture researchers start collaborating to solve and address famine and the damaging effects of climate changes on the productivity of the land.
Poultry farming is an emerging industry and can help many farmers surface from the depths of poverty. Poor guidance and inadequate care will result in a non-performing chicken, thus making the farmer fall deeper in the void of poverty. The private agency Misenani Agri Services an agricultural establishment of Mwanza recognizes the challenges that face the pastoral communities. The organization has graciously agreed to collaborate with the Tawawami Project in engaging in a pastoral service program that will aid the farm community that the Project serves.
Ideally, Tawawami in concert with Misenani Agri Services plans to target the needs of the woman of the community who have small farm plots. Intervention would dramatically increase their livelihood by supplementing their income with a successful poultry program.
Before loaner chicks are distributed participants in the program would attend educational seminars conducted by both Tawawami and the Misenani Agri Service. Seminars would provide the following instruction:
- adequate housing for the chickens; improved lighting and ventilation - providing the proper equipment for feeding and watering - producing and providing quality feed - the proper administering of veterinary drugs and vaccines - marketing approaches.
Tawawami is seeking partners either local or international to help better serve the poultry industry and their program in the fast growing region of Mwanza.
For more information on how you could be become more involved in the program. Please contact: Tawawami Director Richard Sulumet email: mtawawami@yahoo.com mobile: +255 755 681504
Tawawami Stages Dental Hygiene Program for the Youth and Their Families
In addition, the Hope Dental Centre located in downtown Mwanza at the New Mwanza Hotel Business Centre enhanced the program by donating toothbrushes to accompany the toothpaste. Hope Dental Centre is a project of Bridge2Aid, an NGO with dental and community development programs in the Mwanza Region. 100% of Hope Dental Centre Profits are used by Bridge2Aid to fund its operations in the area.
The dental seminar was quite festive as it began with a performance by the newly formed Tawawami Maasai Dance Troupe. With spears in hands, chants and choral singing, and the vibration of the their shoulders to their rhythmic dance, I suspect the youth of Tawawami will not miss a day of brushing their teeth! When the troupe emerged upon the audience the children’s faces were motionless and priceless.
The Tawawami Project would like to once again thank Dr. Hermann Schultze Jr. DDS, Jo and Grace from the Hope Dental Centre, and Mariam, the Hope dental nurse who shared her knowledge and time freely with the children and their families. Your generosity, care, and kindness made the day most memorable and successful.
Hope Dental nurse Mariam provides instruction in the proper technique in brushing one's teeth.
Children eagerly await the distribution of brushes and toothpaste.
The Tawawami Massai Dance Troupe add excitement with their performance at the seminar.
In an effort to become self-sustainable, the Tawawami Project pooled together a troupe of talented Maasai singers and dancers. The troupe meets regularly for meetings and practices with hopes of performing for schools, hotels, and interested audiences. Proceeds generated from performances will go to the funding of the Project that services orphans and vulnerable youth of the Ilemela district.
The troupe recently had their first performance at Morning Star Secondary School. The students enjoyed a lively performance of dance and music on their own school grounds. Viewing the troupe enhanced their understanding of the pride of the Maasai culture and their beliefs.
The Maasai troupe members believe that without maintaining their culture life would be like a zebra without its stripes. In addition, they strongly feel that all children from all walks of life are everyone’s responsibility to nurture and care for daily. The members are compassionate men who are willing to share their talents and rich culture with others. They are taking time from their own work schedules in order to generate funds for the children of the Tawawami Project.
Help us help them by having the troupe perform at your facility for either a special event or on a regular entertainment basis. For further information and to make reservations for a performance please contact:
