The following are some achievements in Chata Area Development Programme (ADP). Since October 2004 World Vision has:
HIV/AIDS
- Held four HIV/AIDS open days. More than 4,800 people visited and received information about HIV/AIDS.
- Facilitated 24 local leaders to visit an HIV/AIDS project in another ADP.
- Assisted eight home-based care committees to support people living with HIV/AIDS by providing the groups with 1,000 Panadol tablets for pain relief and 32 bags of fertiliser to help them grow nutritious foods for those in their care.
- Trained 10 teenagers, who have been orphaned or made vulnerable by the effects of HIV/AIDS as tailoring and tin-smithing tutors, so they can train others in these job skills.
- Provided vocational skills materials, including sewing machines and cloth, for five youth clubs.
- Facilitated quarterly meetings for leaders of youth clubs from throughout the ADP so they could share their experiences of carrying out HIV/AIDS prevention activities.
Health and sanitation
- Monitored the nutrition status of over 12,300 infants and encouraged mothers to exclusively breast-feed those infants found to be underweight.
- Formed nutrition clubs so breast-feeding mothers can support each other.
- Supplied iron supplements to over 26,000 anaemic people, focusing especially on women of child-bearing age and children under-5.
- Educated over 20,000 community members about health and nutrition.
- Held refresher training sessions for 160 community health volunteers.
- Trained 200 village health committee members to detect common diseases and prevent their spread.
- Provided blankets for 1,200 sponsored children.
- Provided materials for the construction of over 2,000 sanitary latrines.
- Sprayed 500 houses against pests and insects.
Education
- Trained 225 members of 16 school committees in leadership and project management. As a result one of the school committees accessed external funding to build two blocks of classrooms and a head teacher’s house.
- Provided 10,000 exercise books and pens to children of 16 primary schools.
- Supported 180 sponsored children with school fees and 66 with school uniforms.
- Held a soccer and netball tournament between the 16 primary schools. The aim of this was to reduce youth delinquency.
Agriculture and food security
- Trained 10 farmers to raise pigs and provided each farmer with a male and a female piglet.
- Established eight vegetable growing clubs and trained 150 farmers to produce vegetables.
- Trained 55 members of the Chiwamba Root and Tuber Farmer's Co-operative Society so they can pass on techniques to other members. This co-operative now has 2,210 members.
Water and environment
- Constructed 20 shallow wells.
- Trained 20 water-point committee members to manage water resources.
- Trained 700 farmers, from 60 agro-forestry clubs, in agro-forestry techniques and provided them with indigenous seeds. Provided 130 farmers with exotic seeds.
- Established 12 nurseries to grow vetiver grass, a crop which has a variety of uses including soil and water conservation, fodder and weaving.
- Trained 205 village leaders in environmental management.
Leadership Development
- Trained the leaders of eight Community-Based Organisations so they can continue development activities after World Vision has completed its activities in the area.
