Wednesday 25 of November Jacana together with Farise visited the Vice President. The visit was initiated by two potential female MP’s (Members of Parliament). The Vice President and the future PM’s want to improve the wellbeing of women. An important issue for women is access to water. Jacana researches the possibility to start a SMART Tech training centre in Zambia (like www.shipo-tz.org). In this training centre Jacana will train local entrepreneurs in pump production and borehole drilling; this will result in production of many pumps. The water can be used for consumption, but also for agriculture purposes. Research showed that manual drilling is highly suitable in the Western Region of Zambia. Because of this method the costs of water points will reduce a lot comparing to the machine drilled boreholes and pumps will be affordable for rural people. The Western part of Zambia is known for cashew production. Unfortunately nowadays most of these small farms have been neglected. Farise wants to train the farmers in rehabilitation of those farms and train them on growing vegetables under the trees (intercropping). This method will make the income of the farmers less seasonable. Especially water is needed for growing vegetables. The roots of the Vice President lay in the Western part of Zambia as well. She even has her own cashew farm. That is why Jacana and Farise presented a short presentation about Water & Cashew. The Vice President was very impressed by the initiative and she wants to see what she can do for Jacana and Farise. To be continued…….WhoIsWho at the Vice Presidents
