Kiwanjani is a vast area, with the majority of people living in poverty and not able to provide for their basic needs. It’s difficult for them to come up with even one meal each day. GHNI has introduced Transformational Community Development (TCD) as a system of mentoring and training them on a way to improve their living standards using available resources.

Ezbit el Nakhl Village, Egypt

We made a trip for the children of Ezbit el Nakhl. Many children participated. Shani*said, “The trip was wonderful, and the best thing about it was that we enjoyed the swimming pool and played together and got to know other children. The place was wonderful, thank you. I was very surprised, and I wish it would happen again. I did not go out for a picnic at all because I worked sorting garbage and because of COVID-19. Thank you.”

Children of Haggana

My name is Sadiki* and I am 10 years old. I thought the other girls were more beautiful than me, and I was jealous of them. I wished I had fine hair like them. I am not satisfied with myself, and I grumble and I do not like the boys and girls around me.

Sayi, our Transformational Community Development (TCD) worker, was in Batemone Village in July. The villagers are implementing some of their TCD knowledge on their farms this farming season, like using animal manure as fertiliser. It was reported that their farms are doing well thus far and they are expecting a high yield.

Thank you!
