The Luhimba Project:
Agriculture

This is what the villagers are best at: the project, in support of Joseph Simsokwe (Luhimba's Agricultural Extension Officer), has encouraged villagers to build up trade with neighbouring villages and towns to fund the schemes recently started in the village in a long-term sustainable way. Women`s co-operative groups have been started and are running successfully. There is a growing heifer project where families are given cows, thus having the benefits of milk. There is now a thriving agroforestry scheme. A sunflower oil extraction plant has been set up which employs eight people and produces edible oil.
