An Abstract
Moringa Oleifera
project plan is
the newly proposed project to be established at Zeze village in Kasulu
District, Kigoma, Tanzania after long and intensive
search of the facts the plant has. The project aim at promoting rural
development through enhancing the use of moringa products as source of
nutrition food, cooking oil, water purifying methodology, source of income and
for both farming advantages. Moringa
Oleifera through research that have been made in various countries like
India, Nicaragua, Philippines, Thailand and other countries by various
organizations and institutions such as FAO, Church organizations, universities
and individuals, have proved the potentialities the plant is and recommended
the use of its products. Although those findings have recommended, the plant
still lack international approval to be used in various fields in which it has
shown ability to serve people like medical services.
In response
to recent world situation in right of food scarcity, environmental destruction,
income crises, climatic change, diseases explosion, and the other factors as
linkage to Moringa Oleifera’s benefits, it has resolved to establish the
plantation at the area mentioned above that as to tracking the current and
forthcoming world challenges.
As it is
valid that all over the world there is no free lunch, the project introduced
here is in need to seek for national and international support/donors either
individuals or groups, governmental or non governmental organization(NGOs) and
religions in terms of advice(moral), materials, funds and technical through
either direct involvement or other means.
Under this
project, the scope and vision toward sustainability families is the priority
which state that “making world the
better place to live and heritage of the Community”. This is possible
through the best planning of valuable projects that will minimize adverse
impacts on the communities of the world and encouraging all people of the earth
to resemble the same everywhere and in every aspects of life. Moringa Oleifera,
through its potentials values, would be the best for the “Heritage of the Community” to our world.
1.0.INTRODUCTION
Moringa
Oleifera project plan is an idea developed by Benedicto Hosea Ntibikema in
cooperation with various scholars and friend after two years (2011-2012)
duration of research finding the truth of the plant. After the findings have
gathered accordingly, theories developed are to be put into practice as to
cause effective and efficiently utilization of improper use of scarce resource
land available for sustainable development. With hopeful zeal to meet the major
goals, the born of MO project commenced and documented in the mid June 2012
1.1.Moringa Oleifera background
This amazing plant is a native in India spread around the world but
not well known everywhere like other crops such as sisal, maize, beans and
more. It is of several species that have been used in Tamil Nadu, Thailand, Philippines
and Africa over decades as the traditional
food and medicine. The twelve (12) varieties of Moringa
species include Moringa Arborea, Moringa Borziana, Moringa Consonances, Moringa
Drouhardii, Moringa Hildebrandtii, Moringa Longituba, Moringa Ovalifolia,
Moringa Peregrina Moringa Pygmaea, Moringa Rivae, Moringa Ruspoliana, Moringa, and
Stenopetala. (B. Dolcas
2008)
1.2.Necessary condition for Moringa
growing
Mnagakay is
the name used in Philippines meaning that it is the sun loving plant which this
signify that the plant is well growing on region with sufficient sun light and
heat and does not well grow in areas with cold of less than 15’C of temperature
and also grows well on well drained soil (sand and loamy) with minimum need of
much water. These factors favour the tropical region to be the areas of suit
for moringa production due to sufficient solar radiation.
1.3.Project area information
Zeze
village is located South-west from Kasulu district about 43km from Kasulu town
in West Tanzania. It is about 16km to
Kazuramimba railway station in the South-west. Main transport from and to the
area are commuters and motor cycles for passengers and Lorries and bicycles for
both luggage and passenger via weather roads.
The area receives sufficient rainfall ranging between 800-1500mm per
annum with temperature ranging between 16 and 32 centigrade. Soil is of all
types meaning sandy, loamy, and clay soil but larger part is of loam and sandy
soil with potential fertility. There is variability in soil colours that are
reddish-brown, darkish and somehow greyish in colour. Sun shines at the area is
about twelve (12) hours a day. It is a real tropical near equatorial climate.
1.4.Values moringa has
To date moringa is a promising plant to alleviate poverty in developing
countries especially in Africa, South America and Asia.
It influences individuals and organizations involvement in research and
implementing the plant due to its potentials and ability in copying the real
world situation.
Currently, Moringa is in development in terms of research,
implementation and marketing. Not only used for food but also for Bio-diesel
production. Bio-fuel research which have done in south Africa, Australia,
Rwanda, Japan, Pakistan, Brazil and the rest, are providing highly success of
moringa than Jatropha plant in bio-fuel production.
From nutritional values moringa contains, trigger and encourage the
groups, organizations, institutions and
individuals to join in production of moringa plants so as to improve
communities living standards through either use leafs (green) or leaf powder,
pods(Green), oil seeds(Ben Oil) and traditional medicines from every part of
the plant

2.0. MISSION AND
VISION
2.1. Mission
To produce moringa at recommended
quality and quantity of the international agencies
To deliver knowledge about what
moringa has and does for rural communities.
To develop plantations at every
where the communities will accept the project
To promote sustainable development
though moringa plant production
To receive and deliver information
from and to different communities about the plant
To maintain the global variability
leading to un-health communities.
These mean that I have to expand project activities to reach every needy
community and bind those communities together as to create a large big
community which resemble the same in all aspects/spheres of life regardless to
which gender and sex, culture, nationality or by any means.
2.2. Vision
To
have more than 50ha of reference, research, study and seed production for other
plantations with aggressive quantity and quality.
To
have trained at least 100 personnel form other parts of my origin project
To
make sure people are lessen in term of employment lacking through this project
To
reduce rural poverty especially mothers from family humiliation and income
poverty
To change
the project from individual ownership to organization that will go every where
to cooperate with other international development agencies in order to share,

3.0. PROJECT
OBJECTIVES
3.1. General objective
This
project objects to maintain social, economical and environmental status as
Moringa plant has proved sustainability. It is the right time to use my
knowledge to implement the project that the people should learn and expand
their production and use of the products that will encourage social health
improvement and increase families cherish, economic growth through individual
income either through employment (both self and private) or through selling
products to others (market) and environmental conservation through plantings
and reduction of clearfalling of trees in search of fire wood and reduce the
use of organic fuels which are the giant into environmental pollution.
3.2. Specific objectives
To
effective and sustainable utilization of land resource that have proved failure
in supporting other crops such as maize, cassava, beans, millet, sorghum and
other crops.
To
over vegetation the land that have over cleared beneficially through the use of
the plantation of moringa.
To
encourages rural development especially through the use of Moringa products to
add into local foods and water clarifying/purifying as many people in rural
areas are not access to clean and pure water.
To
influences external and internal research on the suitability of the plant in
promoting sustainable development all over the world.
To
create individuals capabilities in handling health, income, environment and
families safely without much dependant on the advanced technological facilities
meanwhile Moringa should be manually and traditionally processed and consumed.
Moreover,
I focus on creating and developing conducive climate for social interaction,
through marketing, sports and games, research and learning and other more
spheres that will enable the communities to resemble the same everywhere and in
all aspects of life.
