About FD Kilimanjaro and the Mtakuja Development Project
The project is a partnership between Mtakuja village and the Dutch NGO FD Kilimanjaro with the aim to eradicate poverty from the community of Mtakuja. The project lifespan is expected to be five years (2008-2013). The project outcomes will have to be sustainable and benefit everybody in the community, men, women, young, old, orphans, farmers, pastoralists, landless people, the sick and disabled.
To enable the community to break out of poverty, we seek to dramatically increase agricultural production through the introduction of irrigated farming. The development of an irrigation scheme is considered critical to enable the community to increase production and sustainably increase income through agriculture activity, which in turn is expected to jump start a range of other income generating activities and business ventures.
Other project interventions include the introduction of a livestock management program, farmer training, organizational capacity building, a community based savings and lending program, education and health programs and many others.
