Bukoba Kagera region is situated
on the shore of Lake Victoria in the northwestern corner of Tanzania. The main
economic activities in Kagera are agriculture (coffee is the main cash crop and
banana plants are the main food product), fishery and trading, especially in
urban centers.
In the past, Kagera has been
affected immensely with HIV/AID since the first case that was reported in
Tanzania in 1983. Kagera was badly affected; most of the emerging generation
of the middle age died.
Willson is one of the PiF
leaders who lives in Bukoba Kagera. He is working on helping start self
sustainable projects for the people of Kagera. Community Builders and Anhart
foundation are looking for ways to help him reach this goal. In addition to a
small PiF grant sent to him by Community Builders, Jackson Naiman, another PiF
recipient, has also been paying forward to Willson. As a result, Willson has
started a small poultry project. Willson is an entrepreneur, he operates a
bodaboda (motorcycle as a taxi). He also plants pine trees that will be ready in
15 years. He is also a coffee farmer.The pictures show Willson's poultry project and his boda boda taxi.
Very soon Willson will start the
process of having a CBO registered in Kagera. With the CBO, he will be able to
help eradicated extreme poverty in the area.
Below are pictures showing one of the person Willson has given
forward to by the names of Fradnus Myasha who has started a small
eatery.
