This afternoon we went to Mukike in the highlands, a good hour from Bujumbura. There we met Vital from anamed Burundi. The villagers were informed about our visit. There was a warm welcome with official speech of the representative of Mukike. We brought along about 20 Moringa stenopetala plants.
Today, after 3 days of construction, the project in Muhingo was successfully completed. A branch was added to the existing water pipe. At its end a second tapping point was built. This shortens the daily time to fetch water considerably.
It has been in existence since 1981 - World Food Day or also known as World Hunger Day. It is intended to commemorate the founding of the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) as part of the UN. Officially it is a day of commemoration.
Today the village chief of Rukaramu came to the office of our cooperation partner CCD Burundi. He reports that the Moringa seeds sown at the end of June have already become large plants.
As far as possible, Moringa seeds are already being used for water purification. The villagers would like us to come and show them what else can be done with the Moringa tree and plant more trees for all families.
You can help us with this.
After having visited the orphanage of CCD Burundi yesterday evening, we came back this morning to show the children how they can turn water into drinking water with PET bottles and sunlight.
Water purification, Moringa, water treatment as part of the site exploration trip, a visit to the village of Muhingo in northwest Burundi was on the agenda today. The village has about 700 inhabitants and only one public tap.
