Meet some of our hard working champion farmers Ashery, Janeth and Foibe all from Msunjilile village in Dodoma region. After they received training from us and Justdiggit in 2018, these real climate champions have inspired over 400 households in their village to start bringing back trees through Kisiki Hai technique. Together with other farmers in the village, they have brought back over 30,000 trees in Msunjulile village alone. Some of the Kiski Hai trees in Msunjulile village

We are happy to welcome an amazing Regreen Revolution Ambassador to support our cause. The East Africa’s Queen of Hip Hop Frida Amani has joined our hands in making Tanzania and the world aware that nature based solutions are fundamental in restoration of degraded lands and inspire everyone to make that change happen.

After the start of the Pembamonto Rainwater Harvesting project with our amazing partners Justdiggit back in 2018, we have more regreening images that show what can be achieved in just 3 years. Both of these photos were taken in the same period during the dry season in Pembamoto, Tanzania. Did you know that, according to research by The Nature Conservancy, nature-based solutions are 37% of the solution in reversing global warming? This is the decade of doing. Together we can bring

We have handed out 1,000 bicycles to our champion farmers within the Dodoma region. Champion farmers have been the most passionate advocates on sharing the Kisiki Hai tree restoration approach with others within their community. They have done so through training, demonstration, and mentoring.  Together with Justdiggit and the farmers, we have inspired and activated over 100,000 farmers to pick up the Kisiki Hai technique and other regreening approaches of which it has resulted to restoring over 6.3 million trees in

We are having a great month with awakentrees who have visited us to learn and get more experience from us on land restoration. Awaken Trees is a new organization based in Austria that supports local FMNR initiatives in Africa. Their mission is to fight both global warming and food scarcity through enabling communities to regenerate trees on their land. Awaken Trees is currently operating in Northern Ghana with its first partner FONAR (Forum for Natural Regeneration )- another project will start

Last week we conducted a four days training to 200+ of our champion farmers in the Singida Region. We trained them on FMNR or as we like to call it Kisiki Hai restoration technique, Rainwater harvesting technique and other lessons that will help them to inspire and activate their fellow farmers to restore their lands. This training was launched by the Singida Region Commissioner Hon. Dr. Binilith Mahenge. These enthusiastic champion farmers will inspire and educate around 34,000 other farmers in

February this year we dug thousands of bunds in Arusha, Tanzania. With the help of these half moon bunds, rainwater can infiltrate into the soil and eventually regreen the entire area. The first vegetation has already started to break through. By using landscape restoration technique, we can bring back the lost vegetation in the degraded lands. This improves the soil quality and allows more vegetation to grow.

We have conducted two stakeholder workshop meetings in Manyoni and Ikungi districts of the Singida region to seek all-stakeholder support (government, religious, public, private), and introducing The Regreening Singida Program which will be implemented by us and Justdiggit . In these meetings the community leaders are engaged and encouraged to positively influence socio-cultural norms, manage conflict over resources, and inspire community values, beliefs and practices that support the environment restoration using nature based solutions like FMNR and Rainwater Harvesting technique.

The number of Fanya Juu and Chini in our project area in Dodoma has increased from 373 to 2,299 in one year time. The total length increased from 15,000 meters to 75,000 meters Farmers in Dodoma, Tanzania learned and are now implementing a regreening technique to use next to Kisiki Hai: Fanya Juu and Fanya Chini. Fanya Chini means ‘throw it downwards’: rainwater that hits the soil just outside of the farmer’s land is caught in trenches, so the farmer’s fertile
