QUARTERLY REPORT July – SEPTEMBER, 2011

INTRODUCTION

Between the moths of July and September the community experienced severe drought.

The long rained which was expected in March and April failed. Many livestock died reducing household livelihood which increased vulnerability.

Water trucking project for beneficiaries of OVC and 12 schools was done in part of September and October.

OVC Sololo project was implemented smoothly despite the drought which affected the whole district.
