What Was Achievedin the forest

What Was Achieved For those living around the forest

In Huruma Village/Slum:

A playing field and community meeting area, bee hives and a honey plant, fish ponds, water treatment plants, help with the school, jobs, the ability to collect firewood safely without fear of attack.

The fence provides security for them too and there has not been a single car jacking or police roundup since the initiative was put in place.
