RECENT BEREAVEMENT
ANDREW SHIBWABO
ANDREW SHIBWABO ’S ROLE IN RURAL OUTREACH PROGRAM
Andrew joined ROP in 1999 as an in-charge of water springs protection
activity and capacity building of community development groups.
Since then, Andrew has been the key technical person in these areas.
The organization has protected over 100 water springs in Butere,
Lurambi and Khwisero divisions. Andrew was at the center of all
these. He also helped to prepare more than 100 development groups
in areas of project identification, business management and record
keeping.
Because of his experience, Andrew has been able
to train others. It shows that he understood the need to empower
community members to eventually take charge of managing their own
activities.
ROP today has a working cost estimation for a water
spring protection, thanks to Andrew’s input. With this knowledge,
it is now easy to help the community appreciate, plan and participate
in the work, fully aware of the financial implication of any activity
they engage in.
Andrew leaves behind a rich legacy, in the organization
he worked for, and the community he served with high devotion. We
hope that many in this community will aspire to fashion their lives
in the footsteps of our beloved Andrew.
Andrew leaves behind his father Mzee Kataka Omusebe,
wife Linet Iminza Shibwabo and children Winnie Mweche, Susan Andayi,
Rose Musamali, Patson Kataka and Emmanuel Omusebe.
REST IN PEACE BROTHER
