After Sister Leah arrived in Mtwara, Tanzania, spazio + spadoni immediately supported the construction of a well, which was inaugurated in August 2023 and is available to the entire local community. In the same month, brick production began for the construction of the chicken coop. In March 2024, the social enterprise began with the purchase of 300 chicks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sister Leah is a member of the African Benedictine Sisters of Ndanda Mtwara Tanzania. She arrived in Italy in August 2022 and was welcomed by Misericordia di Castiglione del Lago, in Umbria, where she remained until the end of March 2023. During her months at the Misericordia, she actively participated in the life of the association and the community, becoming integrated into local traditions. She received training in social enterprise, first aid, bread-making and livestock-rearing techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Convento di San Cerbone, the headquarters of spazio + spadoni, she took part in the Convention \u201cFare Spazio al Coraggio\u201d in September 2022 and in a training course on the Works of Mercy and the Economy of Communion in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
