The month of January marks the beginning of a new term for the school in Ahumbe Village. Moses, our Transformational Community Development (TCD) worker, reported that the pupils and teachers were excited to be back in school. Moses also interviewed Israel, a loan beneficiary, who shared how the loan has helped his family’s welfare and allowed his wife to start a small business that is growing.

Since the microloan programme was first introduced to the Gem Community, the results have been astounding. Numerous improvements have been visibly evident in the lives of many villagers.

Tuti Village, Ethiopia

There is a river that runs through Tuti Village. The water is slightly better than in the Borena area, and the majority of the villagers use it for drinking and irrigation. 

The Transformational Community Development (TCD) group in Tuti has helped many of the villagers with agricultural methods. One is Jemila who participated in the TCD training. During the dry season, she can feed her family by harvesting from her field.
