HEAVY RAINS CAUSE OVER FLOODING OF RIVERS AROUND SATEMWA

On 26th and 27th February, the Satemwa Tea Estate received heavy rains which led to the over flooding of rivers within the area. At one point, it was even difficult to cross. The heavy rains are comimg at a time when the stapple maize is starting to ripen. This is likely to bring about hunger as the maize may not ripen and dry properly. It can also affect workers who may have to cross the rivers when going or coming from work.
Given enough Fairtrade premium funds, the Joint Body may consider carrying out 
some projects to address the problems.
