Ustawi na Matumaini Katika Kijiji cha Wangama

 Katika eneo la milima, kusini mwa Tanzania, kuna kijiji kimoja ambacho kinaitwa Wangama. Katika kijiji hicho, watu wa  kabila la Wabena huishi. Wanazungumza Kiswahili na Kibena. Wanakijiji wenye bidii  hukuza vyakula vingi vizuri kama vile viazi, mahindi, vitunguu, nyanya, na kadhalika. 

Hata hivyo, maisha ya watu katika kijiji hicho si rahisi kila wakati. Kiko mbali na miji mikubwa, kwa hivyo mambo muhimu kama vile huduma za afya, shule, na utunzaji wa mazingira yanaweza kuwa magumu. Wananchi wanakabiliwa na safari ndefu na za gharama kubwa kwenda kwenye vituo vya afya, na wakati mwingine, hawapati huduma bora za matibabu. Shule zilizopo zinakabiliwa na upungufu wa walimu na vifaa vya kufundishia, hivyo kusababisha elimu duni kwa watoto. Pia, suala la utunzaji wa mazingira lina changamoto, kwani uharibifu wa ardhi na uchafuzi wa mazingira unaweza kuathiri maisha ya wanakijiji kwa muda mrefu.

Hata hivyo, katika mwaka wa 2017, matumaini yalianza kung'aa kwa wanakijiji wa Wangama. Watu wawili wenye mioyo wa ukarimu na kujitolea, waliamua kuchukua hatua na kuanzisha shirika linaloitwa Wangama Foundation. Waliona haja ya kuleta mabadiliko chanya katika kijiji hicho, na hivyo wakaamua kuchukua hatua ya kuanzisha shirika ambalo lingeweza kusaidia kuleta huduma bora za afya, elimu, na kutunza mazingira. Kuanzishwa kwa Wangama Foundation kulikuwa mwanzo wa safari ya matumaini na ustawi kwa wanakijiji.

Shirika hilo lilijenga kliniki ambayo husaidia watu walio na virusi vya ukimwi na kuwapa na matumaini. Kliniki hii sasa inahudumia wagonjwa kwa upendo na huduma bora za matibabu, ikitoa dawa muhimu na ushauri kwa wale wanaohitaji. Zaidi ya hayo, Wangama Foundation imeanzisha programu za elimu na ufadhili wa masomo kwa watoto walio na uhitaji, ikilenga kuwapa fursa sawa za elimu na kuwawezesha kufikia ndoto zao. Jambo hili limeleta faraja kwa familia zenye changamoto za kifedha, ambazo sasa zimepata matumaini katika elimu ya watoto wao. 

Shirika hilo pia limeanzisha miradi ya kijamii inayolenga kutunza mazingira ya eneo hilo. Miradi hii inatia ndani upandaji wa miti, usafi wa mazingira, na kampeni za kuelimisha watu kuhusu umuhimu wa kutunza mazingira. 

Kupitia juhudi hizi za wafadhili na wanakijiji, Wangama Foundation imeleta mabadiliko mazuri ambayo yanazidi kuimarisha ustawi na maendeleo ya kijiji cha Wangama.

Maisha ya Mlinda

Mwaka mmoja uliopita, mtu mmoja ambaye jina lake ni Mlinda, alikuwa akienda kulala kuchelewa mara nyingi, alikuwa analala baada ya saa sita usiku. Kila asubuhi, ilikuwa ni lazima aamke saa 5:40, wakati saa yake ya kengele ilipolia. Lakini alitamani usingizi zaidi na alirudi kulala. Mlinda aliamka baadaye kufungua mlango kwa ajili ya mpishi wake, ambaye alikuwa na ujuzi mkubwa wa kupika chakula kitamu sana.

Siku hizi, Mlinda anajua ni vizuri kulala mapema kwa sababu ya afya yake. Hata hivyo, kuna wakati anashindwa kufanya hivyo wakati ambapo anatazama vipindi vya kufurahisha vya televisheni. Pia, anajua ni muhimu kunywa maji ya kutosha kila siku, lakini  mara nyingine anasahau kunywa kwa sababu ya kazi zake na mambo mengi ambayo anafanya kila siku.

Baada ya kula kifungua kinywa au chakula cha asubuhi, Mlinda anaketi mbele ya kompyuta kufanya mambo mbalimbali kama kujifunza Kiswahili na kuchora ramani. Mwaka uliopita, alichora ramani nzuri sana ya bara la Afria. Kw Mwaka uliopita, alichora ramani nzuri sana ya bara la Afrika, akionesha milima, mabonde, na maeneo mengine mazuri. Kwa sababu anajali afya ya mwili wake, yeye huwa anaenda katika ukumbi wa mazoezi mara tatu kwa wiki. Anapenda kufanya mazoezi ya mwili kwa sababu inamsaidia kuhisi vizuri na kuwa na nguvu.

Kuanzia tarehe 18 hadi 24 Januari, Mlinda atakuwa na safari ya kwenda Nairobi. Sababu ni kwamba visa yake itaisha hivi karibuni, na anahitaji kusafiri nje ya nchi na kisha kurudi. Atasafiri na marafiki wake wawili warefu, ambao huwa ni kama familia kwake. Wanapanga kufurahia muda wao pamoja, kuchunguza mji wa Nairobi, na kutengeneza kumbukumbu za maisha.

Marafiki wawili waliamua kwenda kuogelea kwenye ziwa. Walitumia boti na kuenda hadi katikati ya ziwa ambalo lilikuwa limetulia. Baada ya kuogelea, walivua samaki na mvua ilipoanza kunyesha, walirudi nyumbani kupika samaki wao.

Mvua ilipoacha kunyesha, waliamua kuendesha baiskeli huku upepo ukipeperusha nywele zao.  

Familia chache zilipiga kambi katika msitu uliokuwa karibu. Watu wanaopenda mazingira walitazama ndege wakiwa na darubini ili kuona ndege wenye rangi mbalimbali kwenye miti. Jioni ilipofika, waliwasha moto na kusimulia hadithi chini ya anga lenye nyota.
