In support of the Rotary Club of Tacoma North, Washington State USA and along with the Rotary Clubs Tacoma and Clover Park, our Club has previously provided funds for wells needed by Ugandan women to establish farms to support their families. So what happens when you need to fence the fifteen (15) acres of land needed to establish a demonstration facility to train those women to farm effectively? You get creative and that's exactly what the Rotary Cub Of Tacoma North has done.
Enter the Mutuba tree, the superhero of fencing!
Its super powers include: a strong trunk that is unharmed by running chain link fencing through it, protecting the crops from animals, providing shade for farmers, conservation of the environment caused by deforestation, and offering bark that can be harvested (without harming the tree) to make cloth for clothing and household items. Eight hundred (800) trees are required.
Our Club has donated $1,000 to help with the purchase and if anyone would like to make a personal donation they should contact the Rotary Club of North Tacoma at tacomanorthrotarygrants@gmail.com .
