Young Ambassadors for Rural Development
From the Deutsche Welle website:-
Prosper Nambaya from Tanzania has already achieved much in his career. After studying business administration in England, he now works for a development bank in the capital Dar es Salaam. Six months ago, the now 32 year-old banker bought a farm on the principle: 'don't talk, act'. His aim is to promote rural development. Although Tanzania is a classic agricultural country, people can barely survive on the proceeds, and infrastructure in the countryside is almost non-existent. The result has been rural exodus. Prosper Nambaya plans to cultivate land that has lain idle on his farm and offer people jobs. He says that if others follow his example, the area should have a flourishing future.
