- Notes
- Suzan went to Kagulu B to follow up on the smearing of the buildings such as the bathrooms, latrines, kitchens, efficient stoves and the construction of the high risen firewood storages.
When she got there, she went to the meeting place and found some of the group leaders at the mosque patiently waiting. They welcomed her and without wasting much time, they decided to first move around the village visiting house to house while monitoring each member’s home facilities. This was intended to see weather the facilities were in good state or no.
During the whole process, it was found that a few group members about 6 of them didn’t have good kitchens thus not having fuel efficient stoves. Most of the members also had the firewood risen storages although they were not of standard while others had just placed their firewood right at the kitchen corner which was not safe for the children.
Other members managed to improve on their homes by smearing all their buildings and stoves, making it a better healthy living environment. Suzan went ahead advising each member to improve on their facilities by smearing all their buildings and stoves and also see that they constructed stronger safer firewood risen storages in their kitchens.
This was important because stocking firewood in the kitchens helped them a lot in times of scarcity. The members were so grateful for the advice given promising to improve on their facilities and the meeting came to an end.
