On 10 March 2026, a team from T𝐒U𝐑O T𝐫u𝐬t, 𝐀A𝐒, R𝐮r𝐚l I𝐧f𝐫a𝐬t𝐫u𝐜t𝐮r𝐞 𝐃e𝐯e𝐥o𝐩m𝐞n𝐭 𝐀g𝐞n𝐜y, 𝐂h𝐢m𝐚n𝐢m𝐚n𝐢 𝐑u𝐫a𝐥 𝐃i𝐬t𝐫i𝐜t C𝐨u𝐧c𝐢l, 𝐃S𝐃, a𝐧d t𝐡e M𝐢n𝐢s𝐭r𝐲 𝐨f L𝐨c𝐚l G𝐨v𝐞r𝐧a𝐧c𝐞 visited Jinga (ward 3) and Chibuwe B (ward 5) in Chimanimani to witness the impact of 𝐇o𝐥i𝐬t𝐢c L𝐚n𝐝 𝐚n𝐝 𝐋i𝐯e𝐬t𝐨c𝐤 𝐌a𝐧a𝐠e𝐦e𝐧t (𝐇L𝐋M).

For years, livestock walked long distances searching for water, often arriving weak and exhausted during drought seasons. Today, solar-powered boreholes are changing that story. In Jinga, cattle now drink calmly from nearby troughs, while in 𝐂h𝐢b𝐮w𝐞 𝐁 a borehole struck water at 15 meters, providing reliable water for livestock grazing areas.

The impact is already visible. In ward 5, cattle under the HLLM programme have grown from 𝟏2𝟓 in 2024 to 𝟑2𝟓 today, reflecting improved water access, better grazing management, and stronger herd health. Communities are also strengthening livestock quality through breeding bulls, animal health management, supplementary feeding, and local livestock feed production.

These efforts show that healthy land supports healthy animals and strong communities. As one farmer simply put it: “𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈.”

In 𝐂h𝐢m𝐚n𝐢m𝐚n𝐢, resilience is taking root one borehole, one grazing plan, and one community at a time.
