Learning from each other

New families from Shikoti seeing the garden works of a counterpart family in Gisambai

In mid-February, families from the new Shikoti zone went to our Gisambai zone for a benchmarking and learning visit.

The dry weather is a perfect reason to make time for this. Those who hosted in Gisambai have been enrolled in Family Care for nearly one year, and they had remarkable achievements to show. They were eager to share what they’ve accomplished, and what their next big goals are.

Shikoti’s families returned home with great excitement and confidence that they too will make big changes happen within a very short time.
