There is much talk lately about elderly citizens in Chamwino District (one of ActionAid Tanzania’s areas of operations in the Central part of Tanzania) having to survive by eating the produce of baobab trees alone.
As the world celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the international year of Older persons, under the theme “Towards the society for All Ages” last September, the elders in Chamwino District in Dodoma Region were in a bad state of affairs with unprecedented severe hunger to cope with.
Just recently I accompanied journalists to tour Chamwino district and see first hand the negative effect drought is having on the region.
