How I benefitted from Ndhiwa Maarifa Centre's Library

Ndhiwa Receives Bibles Donation from Ndhiwa AIC Church

'A way to a man's mind is through a man's heart'. Ndhiwa Maarifa Centre received a donation of 26 new Bibles from the Ndhiwa AIC pastor, Pst. Douglas Omondi, who is also a computer trainee here at the moment.
Three Big Bibles were donated for the community library and the 23 smaller ones were to be awarded to the library's frequent members as a form of motivation.
Out of more than a thousand books available at the centre, it was unfortunate that we lacked a bible on our shelves, but today we count ourselves the most lucky to have more than enough to an extend of sharing out with our people.
We would like to thank Pst. Douglas Omondi of Ndhiwa AIC church for his generosity and love to the people of this community; and to the rest of our friends, i would like to remind you that you can still encouraged to donate any valuable items to support this community by clicking on our 'Donation tab.'

Taking ICT training to the Extremes in the year 2012

I would like to first wish each one of us who managed it to the year 2012 a happy and prosperous new year full of great achievements for both the 'haves' and 'have-not' in this tough global economic times.
2012 is a year that has come with a lot of of ICT opportunities for the communities of Ndhiwa; four basic computer training sessions per day is something that has never been realized in this centre before, but with the availability of the 2 trainers, a target of more than 100 trainees is going to be achieved by March 2012.
The classes have begun today (16/01/2012) and the turn up is promising. The idea has been appreciated by many people in the region especially the those who only preferred the evening classes due to their various commitments in the day.

Is the Government doing anything in terms of the Curent Run off Utilization?

This is a question that worries most Kenyans today. The heavy rains are here and come next year, of which is unpredictable, we might again be out on the run hit by another deadly drought, calling for an international intervention in terms of food insecurity!
I believe the right time to combat future food insecurity and water frustrations is now. The current down pour if properly harvested and stored in shallow dams or reservoirs in most of our drought mostly affected areas, then come next year, farmers shall be in a position to utilize the same for farm irrigation as as they await for the unpredictable rains.
Think about this and drop us your opinion on the comment box below this post. Remember that your opinion will highly contribute towards the betterment of this country today for the current and the future generations in terms of food security and poverty reduction.

Arina Cluster Group holds a Farmers Field day in Central Kanyamwa-Ndhiwa

Tuesday, 22 November 2011 was a day that shall remain to be remembered by many in Central Kanyamwa in Ndhiwa District. Arina Cluster Group, a self help group, in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture and CEFA through C-MAD that had previously established a demonstration farm of about an acre, called in for community members around this area to attend and learn better skills on the new production techniques to maximize on their production and furthermore adapt to the unpredictable climatic conditions.
The exhibition plots at the site entailed groundnuts production, sunflower, bee keeping, local poultry, kales and so many farm activities that were actually in there best conditions. Both the group members and experts from various departments were there to answer questions from the eager community members who got enticed with the production techniques that they had acquired.
So far, field days have proved to be of great impact to our target groups and we would like to continue encouraging to develop the culture of furthering  'farmer-to-farmer' exchange visits with an aim of information sharing and exchange.
