FEEDING PROGRAMS:
We are currently experiencing a very severe drought throughout our district. While in Rombo town itself we had rain during the last rainy season most other parts of the area had no rain at all.Lack of rain means crops rotting in the ground and no pasture for the animals.The government provide some small help but not enough. Feeding programs at schools are badly needed, these can provide prepared meals for the students and the elderly of the area.
