Project: Tunda Mia (Tomatoe Bill) Date: 25th April 2018
Introduction
Tunda Mia is a food production initiative where the ultimate
goal is for everyone to be able to grow their own food that they need from the
day they were born. The day you were born can be abstract like for example the
day you were born is taken to mean the day you first heard about Tunda Mia. The
first Initiative is Tomatoe Bill which will be discussed in this document.
Imagine being able to feed yourself. Not many are able to say
that they can do this; this is what Tunda Mia is all about, Empowering people
to feed themselves.
Situation Analysis
Many of us Youth find ourselves unable
to feed ourselves hence seeking employment so that we can take care of
ourselves. Tunda Mia addresses this problem by showing the youth that you can
grow your own food as well as make income from it.
Tunda Mia is going to be huge; initiatives of publicity are a
necessary step to get the youth aware of how they can sustain themselves hence
saving money and resources. The first steps however discussed in this document
will address how to grow tomatoes.
Problem Statement
Youth find themselves mentally barred
when they face taking care of themselves, where will the money come from? They
often turn to employment applying but not getting employed, this adds to stress
and sickness is a result. They need to be able to take care of themselves but
need more answers instead of just regular employment
Objectives
1. Create a profitable tomatoe farm at
Boko.
2. Create a similar profitable farm at
Kigamboni when you save up to purchase a farm.
3. Write up similar project documents
for other vegetables.
4. Create a publicity plan.
Outputs
Here is a short list of the desired
outputs:
A1 – Individual able to achieve
self-sustenance throw growing own food.

Monitoring and Evaluation
The Crop will be checked daily while watering to ascertain
its health. In terms of income we will be planting 9 sections of 40m squared.
Every 2m squared will have 32 crops which are projected to yield 36 tomatoes
that means 1,152 tomatoes from each section and this times 20 is 23,040
tomatoes per section. We will sell each tomatoe at 100/= so 2,304,000/= is to
be made per section yielding 20,736,000/= this is good profit even if you yield
half the amount it is still 10 million.
Indicators
An individual needs 1,000,000/= to
live comfortably by him/herself. The profits here are 20 times that meaning the
individual will not only sustain their selves but their families as well as
other people. This is an indicator of 2000% success!
Conclusion
Tunda Mia can be the way out of
poverty for many youth to take. I recommend this project to anyone looking to
get out of not being able to sustain their selves.

The lost Tribe of the Hadzabe
THere are so many tribes out there but these indigenous minorities are fading away unless we do something about it.
living around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and in the neighboring Serengeti Plateau the Hadzabe are hunters.
There are, between 1,200 and 1,300 Hadza people living in Tanzania (2015 estimate). They do not have any genetic blood ties with the Tanzanian people because their way of life is much different to ours. While traditionally classified with the Khoisan languages, primarily because it has clicks, the Hadza language appears to be an isolate, unrelated to any other. As descendants of Tanzania's aboriginal hunter-gatherer population, they have probably occupied their current territory for thousands of years, with relatively little modification to their basic way of life until the past hundred years.
