Chigumba Community Mobilisation

Project update van 16 april 2021 door Mussa Nyirenda

Three days ago project coordinator Mussa was in Chigumba to share the news of the cancellation of the projects. Continue reading to get to know the reaction of the community and to see some additional photos and videos.

The community of Chigumba was informed about the cancellation of the coming of the groups on 13th April 2021. In attendance were the Village heads, teachers and community members who expressed deep shock about the failure of the group to come and work with them. They mentioned that they have been praying for the groups to come but since covid-19 continues to be with us they have accepted that for the sake of the health of the participants it is just proper that they stay in the Netherlands. The community was however optimistic that they will try their best to construct the school block by themselves. They also promised to make sure that the quality of the building is to the best standard. Currently the community has already started ferrying bricks on site and they are also expected to come up with an action plan on how they will carry out the construction work.
