"Truly, I've never known an approach from an NGO like this, who have the approach of going straight to the villagers, and living with them in this difficult environment. I would like to say, 'SPW, we need money', but this not a solution. SPW, do your best to give us knowledge like this, which will endure.''
Ibrahim Chang'a, villager, Kiwrere, Tanzania
