Learning New Skills

Yesterday we attended the Sawa World Day 2016 and the opening of the Sawa World Solutions Centre, the award winning NGO offering 32 local solutions to self employment and better livelihoods.

Simoshi invited the Directors from St. John's Secondary School and Living Hope Kawanda to join the event whilst learning from skills such as edible gardens and urban farming. As these schools are already benefiting from firewood savings with the use of the institutional improved cook stoves, we would like to continue with our efforts to create a better cooking environment.

We believe such approaches could be implemented is schools with limited space, allowing them to grow their own vegetables, improving the children's diet and reducing the school's food expenditures.
