Climate Change Leading To Climate Action
Climate Change Resilience
Climate change is already reshaping life in rural Tanzania.
Unpredictable rainfall, flooding, deforestation, declining soil quality, and food insecurity are placing increasing pressure on communities already living with limited infrastructure and resources.
Community-led solutions are essential to strengthening resilience, improving livelihoods, and creating long-term environmental sustainability.
Green Kamanga
Deforestation remains a major challenge across rural Tanzania. Trees are cut down for charcoal production, cooking fuel, farming land, and construction materials, accelerating soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation.
Through our Green Kamanga initiative, we established local tree and plant nurseries and successfully planted more than 1,200 trees across Kamanga and surrounding villages between 2021 and 2023.
The project focuses on both environmental restoration and long-term economic opportunity through the planting of fast-growing timber and fruit trees such as mango, papaya, and avocado.
Our next phase will see the establishment of:
100 community-based nurseries
100,000 trees planted over a three-year period
Environmental clubs in local primary schools
Community savings groups supporting sustainable livelihoods
Training delivered through the project includes:
Tree propagation and nursery management
Reforestation and soil conservation
Fuel-efficient cooking methods
Sustainable land use practices
Water, sanitation, and hygiene education
This approach ensures climate action is not delivered to communities, but built with them through local leadership, shared ownership, and long-term participation.
WATER, SANITATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Environmental resilience and public health are closely connected.
In many rural communities, limited waste management systems, unsafe water sources, and inadequate sanitation infrastructure contribute to preventable disease and environmental contamination.
Communities surrounding Lake Victoria are increasingly vulnerable to:
Waterborne diseases
Flooding and erosion
Pollution of local water sources
Unsafe waste disposal practices
Around 70% of diseases encountered in health facilities in Tanzania are linked to water and sanitation challenges.
Through community education and locally delivered initiatives, awareness is raised around:
Improved sanitation and hygiene practices
Environmental health and behaviour change
Safe water practices
Sustainable community infrastructure
Strengthening climate resilience means strengthening the long-term health, dignity, and wellbeing of entire communities.
