WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT-NANGURUKURU



I recently travelled to the south-eastern regions of our beautiful country in Lindi and Mtwara. Anyone who has travelled through this direction wont forget this small town situated at the famous Nangurukuru junction. This junction has for years been serving as a resting centre for multitude of passengers while on their way to variuos distinations along Lindi, Kilwa, Dar es salaam and Liwale Road. The strategic position at which this town is situated has attracted a lot of people who have self employed themselves in various forms of business ranging from selling food, groceries, bites, fried FISH(the item the junction is famous for) to providing toilet facilities (although not hygienic at all).
What inspired me about this junction is the manner in which women have decided to fully engage themself in business, I was really happy and thought the Government need to give them a hand by providing them conducive and hygenic environment which will attract many people to purchase their items. Lets join our efforts to support this noble activity which these women are doing as through a trickle down effect survival of many men and children depend on the business these women are doing.
Bravo Nangurukuru women!!!!
