Today YPM and Vodacom Tanzania conducted a collaboration training here at Lushoto town. The training involved PM SIGs (VICOBA) and facilitator Irene Felix Nyenyembe from Vodacom with the aim of introducing SIGs members to financial services called M-Koba, which will help them to buy shares and perform all financial transaction of their groups and keep all group records through their mobiles phones. During the training, YPM Program Manager and and Program Officer for Economic Empowerment spoke to the participants about the importance of using M-Koba and abandon traditional ways of keeping money at homes. He also kindly asked SIGs members to maintain their Unity and solidarity while exploring new economic opportunities so that they do not left anyone behind in economic development of their groups and as individuals.

Leo YPM na Vodacom Tanzania wameendesha mafunzo kwa vikundi vya VICOBA vinavyosimamiwa na Vijana waleta Amani Tanzania (YPM). Dhumuni la mafunzo hayo nikuwawezesha wanavikundi kutumia huduma ya M-Koba ili waweze kuweka hela zao nakufanya miamala ya vikundi vyao kwa usalama zaidi kuliko kuziweka hela kwa mtu au majumbani. Katika mafunzo hayo Meneja Miradi wa YPM ambaye pia ni Afisa wa Uwezeshaji Kiuchumi aliwaomba washiriki kutumia fursa hiyo pamoja nakuhakikisha kua wanaendeleza umoja wao na hawamuachi mtu yeyote nyuma katika maendeleo ya kikundi na mtu mmoja mmoja.

The trees are ready to be planted and SIGs (VICOBA) members are kindly argued to communicate with their leaders so as they can get trees for planting in their own piece of land.
