Noting a need for grassroots and collaborative mobilisation for more active involvement in the development of Tchundwa village, Ikhlas Foundation, led by it’s Trustee Tahreni Bwanaali, mobilized individuals from and those supportive of Tchundwa into a group to strategize on Tchundwas’ development agenda. The open-minded and committed individuals, identified as Friends of Tchundwa, consist of people from both in and outside Tchundwa.
Concerned about the situation, a group of individuals interested in the state of affairs in Tchundwa and its reform have converged so as to challenge and change the status quo and restore Tchundwa’s glory. The individuals have been strategizing on the key steps to achieving this goal. To take this initiative forward, a project has been initiated to implement the action plan that is meant to address the situation. The project, referred to as ‘Tchundwa Asili Initiative (TAI)’ as described in the draft document that was developed below.
