Kilimanjaro, TZ – Lishe Bora team to assist with replanting gardens – 15 Jan 2021

In 2020, the Lishe Bora team learned new mentoring techniques from fellow Better Lives partner Wamukisa. As a result, the team is strengthening its focus on assisting families in 2021.

Lishe Bora is looking to use some of Wamukisa’s family mentorship model to assist families to reorganize their gardens. This means Anna will be meeting with families ahead of time to understand their needs and relay them to her fellow team members Eliza and Theodory so that they can plan the assistance they will provide.

After the first week, Anna, Eliza, and Theodory were able to understand challenges faced by a number of families with their gardens, and assist them to reorganize and replant their gardens to continue growing.

Many families face challenges with their gardens because of their busy schedules. Many of them move around to earn income from piece work and farming. Sometimes they are unable to give the necessary attention to their family garden. Therefore, Lishe Bora is planning a schedule based upon when families say they will need assistance.
