The villages continue to be threatened by water shortages. There are no operating wells and in the dry season, water has to be collected by digging down into the dry river bed over a mile from the village. In the rainy season the soil is fertile and good crops of maize and sunflowers can be harvested, but climate change has made the rains more unreliable in recent years.

Community Development

From 2026 to 2028 the parish is one of nine parishes taking part in the Church and Community Mobilization Prograrrme (CCMP). They join seventeen parishes that have already taken part in the education and training. 

The CCMP plays a key role in diocesan life, combining evangelism, discipleship and self-reliance. Through savings groups, small business training and practical support, people are learning new skills, growing in confidence, supporting their families, and building hope for the future.
 

Three facilitators from the parish will participate in workshops that include Bible studies, community relationship building, resource mobilization, the formation and management of savings and credit groups, data collection, analysis and decision-making, social awareness, business skills, climate-smart agriculture and environmental conservation. They will then put the training into practice with the parish and community.
