 Matande center has been the focus for the month. The centre now has reached ring beam level after the good work by the contractor and the buying and transportation of materials of sand and bricks. 

The project has transported all material from versyani and are being kept at the Group Village headwoman house. She complained about space as this is harvesting time as they are lots of materials. I assured her with the progress we have made that we are not going to keep the material there for a long time.

In bee keeping Zikomo helped the group with bee suits, smokers, presser  and training on beeping and harvesting. Zikomo helped Nanyumbu producers and marketing cooperative. The Cooperative can now harvest without being stung by bees and have quality honey as they are using the presser to press their honey. The bee suits are revolving within the group.
