The Stearn Calendar Girls

Stearn Electric have created the most amazing calendar in support of the ‘NOMAD Trust’ and Charities supported by ‘AMET’  (Associated Manchester Electrical Traders).

Nomad Trust is a charity that Stearn Electric Company has a close association to sponsoring a number of projects in Mahale.  Stearn have been incredibly generous to the Nomad Trust.

  Nomad Trust would like to thank the lovely ladies Christina, Alesha, Anna and Joe ‘The Stearn Calendar Girls’ without whom none of this would have been possible.

100% of the funds raised from their calendar will go to the charity’s.

Kalolwa Vegetable Garden

Greystoke Camp in Mahale National Park is supporting a small business enterprise based at the Kalolwa Airstrip.  The Tongwe Trust lend out land to Pai who grows vegetables for the camp.  Greystoke buy Pai's vegetables at Arusha Market prices.  Nomad Trust supports this initiative by providing a water pump, pipes,  Foliar feed fertilizer, vegetable seeds and better farming practice training to Pai free of charge. 
Since Greystoke re-opened in June for the new season the vegetable garden has made 817,460 Tsh in profit (at current exchange rates this amounts to over $500).  This is hugely exciting as the garden struggled to make a profit for a number of years.  Well done to Pai!
