The project have became like community owned, for example in Morogoro, you can not imagine Men are taking the lead in demonstrating and preparing nutritious rich meal for children under 5 and pregnant Women at the Clinic centres, women take potato cuttings, carots for house hold duplication.
Men have adopted the Sungura/hare husbandly from the Africare demonstration plots.
Its no longer strange in Morogoro seeng people in TOWERO are busy in gardening.

The village Chairperson told the EU/UNICEF visitors that the community income has increased tremendously in the last 6months due to output obtained from the Gardening as advocated by Africare.
The Nurse in Towero dispensary declared an increased number of clinic attendants because of the added advantage gained by women when they have the opportunity to meet nutrition lectures, practicle demos and knowledge on how reducing maternal anaemia and child stunting.

The Africare Towero Field School is situated at the Dispensary on top of Mt Uruguru, other Field schools are Chazi village -Mvomero, Kilombero, Ulangat
The Towero Field School has so far attracted a lot of visitors from abroad and in country due to its positive impact to the community in Towero ward
