Last week on Thursday, 13th October 2016, our team comprised of Karen, Emily, Johnson and led by Samwel visited Rundugai Village in Hai District, Kilimanjaro region to conduct pre-intervention consultative meetings with young img-20161014-wa0025people, women and village leaders. We had an opportunity to hold successful focus group discussions with a group of 6 young people and a group of 13 women and also held meetings with village leaders. In addition, we inspected some social services and visited several households where we met children not going to school. Local leaders, women and young people in this village were thrilled by FAE’s approach to improving access to education especially for children with disabilities. They are excited and looking forward to the starting of our actual interventions. They are ready to collaborate and receive support from FAE.
