We would like to congratulate
the people who kindly built us this market thus saving us from
trading on the roadsides, which was not only inconvenient for
motorists but also dangerous to us. Not to mention the unhealthy
display of our merchandise especially vegetables that were usually
laid down on dusty or muddy ground.
Today we enjoy operating under shelter, no longer suffering from
scorching sun or pouring rain, mind you, we are also much safer and
the environment is much cleaner.

This is something that was not
expected, at least in the near future, it unbelievable that such a
modern infrastructure can be built within a short time and to our
satisfaction.
As a cleaner, the work is now clearly defined. I collect left over
vegetables and fruits, gather plastic bags and containers all to be
kept or disposed off separately. The fruits and vegetables are
converted into manure for horticultural purposes.
With the new Tengeru women market, even the garbage becomes useful.
There is also the increase of traders and customers alike, in short,
this place is bustling with activities, quite a boost for the
Tengeru township, we are very grateful.

This new market has solved many
problems especially the congestion of people. We now operate freely,
with more breathing space and under permanent shelter, safe from
dust, rain and sun.
I however appeal to my colleagues that we must make efforts to
ensure that this market premises are kept clean and fully
maintained, our benefactors spent so much on it and we must show our
gratitude by valuing this priceless gift.

At last, the road leading to
Duluti has been cleared and the problem of traders blocking the way
solved for good. Still, the market is not big enough to handle the
traffic of auction days that are held on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
In fact, during the harvest seasons of between July and December,
the market will be overwhelmed. Still the market is a great boost to
us. It has 16 latrine pits, clean water and a garden that can be
used as a training field for local women.
