Kuanzia tarehe 9 mpaka 11 of February, Meneja Miradi  na  Afisa  Mazingira, Utetezi na Michezo walitembelea Wilaya ya Korogwe kwajili ya Kutambulishwa kwenye ofisi za Serikali za kata  na kijiji. Sambamba na hilo walitembelea vikundi mbalimbali vya VICOBA ili kuwatia moyo na kuwasaidia namna ya kutatua changamoto zao. Memeja Miradi ambae pia ni Afisa Uwezeshaji Kiuchumi aliwasisitiza wanavikundi kutumia huduma za kibenki kama njia salama ya kutunza  fedha zao. zaidi ya hayo aliwaeleza wana vikundi fulsa mbalimbali za kijasiliamali ambazo taasisi inawapa wanavikundi wake.

From 9th to 11th of February, YPM program Manager and Program Officer for Environment, Advocacy and Sports visited Korogwe District for Introduction at the ward and village government offices. Along with that they visited various VICOBA groups to encourage them and help them figure out how to solve their challenges. Project Manager who is also the Program Officer for Economic Empowerment urged group members to use banking services as a safe way to manage their finances. In addition, he explained to the members of the various entrepreneurial opportunities that the Organisation offers to its members.

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.

YPM Program Manager Mr. Peter Jali and Program Officer for Sports, Environment and Advocacy have official conversations with Community Development Department at Korogwe Township Council today, mainly for discussing how the Department will collaborate with YPM in promoting social-economic development in Korogwe. Not only that but also, the two officers visited Mgombezi Trees Nursery which is the initiative of the organisation to protect and preserve the environment. 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.

Maneja Miradi wa YPM pamoja na Afisa Michezo, Mazingira na Utetezi wamekua na mazungumzo na Kitego cha Maendeleo cha Halimashauri ya Miji wa Korogwe kuona ni jinsi gani wanaweza kushirikiana ili kuhamasisha maendeleo ya Kijamii na Kiuchumi Wilayani Korogwe.

Kwa sasa miti ipo tayari na wana VICOBA wanaombwa kuwasiliana na Viongozi wao ili waweze kupata miti kwaajili yakupanda katika mashamba yao.

YPM has gathered youth here at the office in Lushoto to take part in the Global week which is the International meeting of young people around the world hosted by Y Global Norway. The aim of this series of meeting is to help young people discuss global challenges and find the solutions as global citizens. The meeting has started today and will end on Thursday this week.

Dear Youth Peacemakers Tanzania,

YGlobal from Norway congratulate you on your anniversary. YPM is doing great work! YPM is building peace and justice in the community and in the world.

In the world today we have extreme poverty and climate change as two huge challenges. Worldwide around 20.000 children die every day as a consequence of poverty. The root cause of poverty is injustice. Rich countries are consuming too much of the world’s resources. Rich people all over the world are doing too little to create justice and peace in our world and in our communities. YPM is working to change this.

We are proud to partner with you. Youth Peacemakers create saving and investment VICOBA groups lifting people out of poverty and engaging in activities that create accountability and improved services. Youth peacemakers create sports activities for young people where we all can learn about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and get ideas on how to promote justice and peace in a democratic and non-violent manner. Young people from Peacemakers engage in policy dialogues with policymakers at all levels. YPM sent a competent young woman to Paris some time ago to discuss climate policies at the COP Climate Summit. YPM make sure that young people’s voices are heard and listened to by important policymakers.

We are inspired by Jesus when he says: Blessed are the Peacemakers, they shall be called children of God. We are all children of God and we are all called to be Peacemakers and active promoters of global justice.

In Norway and elsewhere young people are protesting when climate change can destroy the sustainability of nature created by God. We are called to care for our planet and for the people living in this world. We can never accept poverty, violation of human rights or degradation of our environment.

The Bible says: Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.

The world has too much evil. We will protest and stop people from doing evil. We are part of global social movements trying to stop poverty, stop discrimination of women, stop climate change, stop pollution, and work hard for justice and peace.

We apologize for the injustice created by high-income countries. We apologize for the climate change created by high-carbon-emitting countries. Norway is among those. Let us unite to create a social movement that can stop climate change, stop poverty and make peace in our world.

We ask you please to continue the close partnership with YGlobal, the YWCA-YMCA of Norway. Thanks for receiving high numbers of volunteers and guests from Norway to Lushoto and Tanzania. Thanks for your spirit of partnership and brotherhood. Please continue to train volunteers for a global movement that can realise and implement the Global SDGs. We need a world free from poverty. Please continue working for this goal together with young people from all over the world. Nobody is free until everybody is free.

Be blessed you Young Peacemakers of Tanzania!

Warm regards

Fredrik Glad-Gjernes | Director YGLOBAL
