March Update
Last week True Grasses witnessed the site of the school being expanded with the purchase of more land where the proposed school will be build. Thanks to our donor that made this a reality. We were able to purchase 5 more acres of land that gives True Grasses enough land to carry out its activities as it empowers communities in Kisarawe villages.
Maize growing
The picture on the right shows a local villager clearing part of the school land before it is ready for maize planting this march. With the growing of maize, True Grasses gives locals employment on the farm and this activity has been realized from our donors in the Netherlands. Also with the growing of maize we already start the sustainability of the school, by providing feeds for the near future piggery project in Kisarawe and providing income for the project itself.
Architecture & Land surveying
The initial architect that True Grasses contacted, didn’t produce quality drawings and we have decided to identify another architect who will be working alongside our Dutch volunteer architect to produce sustainable, eco-friendly drawings. Land Surveying is a slow process, and we are waiting for official communications from the land ministry when they will be ready to start the surveying process. We will have to dance to their tunes as such issues always goes a little slower than in other countries. We are happy that our board member is pushing hard and knows the inner logistics of the land process.
