Farmers in Gitombo experience agricultural problems such as poor or failed harvest due to failed rains.
Secondly, they are devastated by pests like moles and porcupines. Sadly the area has only a single primary school, Gitombo Primary, and no secondary or tertiary institution.Neither does it have any clinic or health center.
The residents have to walk a long distance to access a health center.Contrastingly, the area has multi-denominational christian faiths, namely: Catholic & Presbyterian..
Employment and education opportunities are extremely limited.
PAAV is dedicated to empowering the people of Gitombo through education and practical skills.
We work in partnership with the Gitombo community, in breaking their cycle of historic poverty through long-term
educational and empowerment programs
