Umoja
Ursula Nafula
Vusi Malindi
Kijiji chetu kilikuwa na shida nyingi. Tulikuwa na mfereji mmoja.
Tulitegemea chakula cha msaada.
Tuliogopa kuvamiwa na wezi.
Wazazi wengine hawakuweza kulipa karo.
Wasichana wadogo waliacha shule.
Wavulana wadogo walirandaranda kijijini.
Uchafu ulikuwa kila mahali.
Watu walikatwa na vipande vya chupa.
Siku moja, mfereji ulikosa maji.
Babangu aliwaita watu waende mkutano.
Watu walikusanyika wakajadiliana.
Babangu alisema, "Lazima tuyabadilishe maisha yetu."
Mimi nilisema, "Nitasafisha uwanja wa nyumba yetu."
Mamake Dama alisema, "Wanawake wataungana wapande chakula."
Babake Mumo alisema, "Wanaume watachimba kisima cha maji."
Kwa sauti moja tulisema, "Tuyabadilishe maisha yetu."
