- Notes
- Harriet and Susan found two conflicting co-wives at the meeting place who welcomed them to have gone to help them settle their conflicts. The women also asked Kibo to invite their husband to be part of the meeting. Harriet reached him on phone and fortunately he turned up .
Harriet briefed their husband Mr. Iduma who is at the same time the Chairperson LC1 of the village about what was going on between his wives. Mr. Iduma seemed to be shocked about the conflicts because none of his wife had ever told him about it.The first woman (Namukwana)was complaining that the husband doesn’t take care of her like the way he takes care of her co- wife. She said that the man refused to build for her a kitchen and she had to mobilize her children to build it for yet he built a kitchen for the young co-wife. In the meeting the young woman assured her co-wife that even her she had to hire some one to build for a kitchen . She told her co- wife she did not know why Namukwana( first wife) was angry of her.
This was very interesting for all the two women to realize that they are treated equally and they apologized before each other for the bitter words they exchanged before knowing the truth.They also asked their husband to support them other than leaving them to do things by themselves. She also reminded him that a village leader and as a parent he should set a good example. He also promised and asked his wives to always tell him in case their any conflicts among them so that he can help them to overcome it. He also thanked Kibo for reconciling his wives.
After they all went for the general meeting because the members were already waiting . Kibo staff taught them about smearing of their home facilities.kibo encouraged them that smearing would make these facilities look strong and neat and it is one of the requirements of a standard kitchen before a stove is built in there.
The group assigned a task of the first two women who got the very first demonstration stoves to smear their kitchens before the next meeting.
Kibo staff also asked the group to identify the next two participants to get stoves in the next meeting. The group based on the reconciliation they show between Iduma’s wives and they chose them to be the next ones to get stoves in the next meeting.
Kibo staff thanked the community for being able and always willing to make good decisions for the good of their community. They also encouraged them to stay working together in order to achieve success in what ever they do.
