Busega Scotland’s Family Support Project normally supports women’s groups but we are working with one individual family. This is a collaboration that includes Tanzanian colleagues and some generous individuals in the United States. The family live in a separate room, adjacent to a house owned by a wonderful lady called Pendo.

She, along with a Montessori-trained colleague Sebastian, and our very own Julieth, are the support team, ably assisted by Julieth’s baby, Golden. When Golden arrives at Buswelu he is immediately whisked away by the girls, Lydia and Ester, who love showing him off to their friends. Julieth recounts, with a resigned shrug, the times she has to delay her departure home while Golden is retrieved from his admirers!
