Meeting with the village Headman of the Kayayoma community in the Lower Guruve communal land.

The Kayayoma Dam

The Kayayoma community (650 families) situated in the north-west of Zimbabwe in the Guruve area approached Gomango through Jim Latham of Ecoed to ask for assistance with their dam as it was in danger of being eroded away from a broken spillway. Gomango was able to seek and secure funds from CIDA and were able to recreate the spillway and raise the dam wall thereby increasing the holding capacity and securing the communities water supply. The water is used to supply the local vegetable gardens in the winter months (rainfalls between October and March), provide water for the livestock and for household use, it is transported by buckets to the various destinations as a daily chore for the women and children in the community.
