Sector: Agriculture (oilseed)
On 19th
December, 2009, with much jubilation and ululation, members of Mbuyoti
Enterprise sung at the premises of SNV in Mongu in the Western province of
Zambia saying “It is only SNV.
Yes only SNV.
They are the only ones who have
helped us to know how to make soap from our own trees.
” In Kalumwange,
seventy-nine (79) kilometres north of Kaoma, Bumvem Kababu, a Jatropha
farmer, bubbling with joy declared, “We have been living with these trees
(Jatropha trees) until now when we have grey hair.
We have not known that we
can make soap from them.
Our children shall be very happy.
They will live a
better life”.
These are reactions to the efforts of the Netherlands Development Organisation
(SNV).
