HelpAge International in partnership with Jb Geriatrics and HIV Center, Pwani DPA and GSST have been implementing a project on Measuring Healthy Aging and Co Designing Health in Tanzania. The project is being implemented in Kibaha township and Kibaha Municipal council.
Judith Bagachwa director of Jb geriatrics says Mwendapole A is one of the communities that has successfully been engaged in the implementation of the project. The beginning was really tough because the practice of community life competence requires members to use/utilize their own resources so as to solve their problems.
Judith Bagachwa director of Jb geriatrics says Mwendapole A is one of the communities that has successfully been engaged in the implementation of the project. The beginning was really tough because the practice of community life competence requires members to use/utilize their own resources so as to solve their problems.
The process of using their own resources took a very long time before community members realized they were capable of doing something by themselves. CLCP has helped Mwendapole A community members learn to appreciate their strengths and take actions towards challenges that they face.
So as to live a healthy living style Mwendapole A started a vegetable garden where community members could grow vegetables to improve on their nutrition. Community members worked together and through the help of their local leader they managed to secure a piece of land where they could grow their vegetables.

Mr Desdery Masawe who works at the Local government office, confirmed that a piece of land was secured for community members to implement on their project. Community members immediately took actions and started to work on their project.
Salum Chambuli a group chairperson explained that the steps taken gave community members a sense of progress and believed that anything is possible. Before the land was secured people had lost hope and others left. But now that the land is available people have put all their strengths in making sure that the community project becomes a success.
