We have kicked off an exciting new project in the MBOMIPA WMA villages which surround the Ruaha National Park in Iringa, Tanzania. . The Regreening Iringa project, based in the Idodi and Pawaga divisions, is already making waves in the villages of Marinzanga, Magombwe, and Isele. The project focuses on sustainable regreening techniques like Half Moon Bunds and the Kisiki Hai method, both of which restore the land, boost water retention, and improve soil fertility.

This initiative, in collaboration with our amazing partners at NAWIRI, is directly engaging with local farmers, who are at the forefront of the regreening efforts. By the end of this year 2025, our target is to dig 3,000 Half Moon Bunds and revive 33,000 tree stumps using the Kisiki Hai method—creating a greener, more resilient environment for the future. So far, we’ve seen tremendous enthusiasm with 30 champion farmers leading the charge.

The project has already kicked off with a training session, a workshop, and even a movie roadshow to raise awareness and get the community excited about the regreening process. With strong community involvement and innovative techniques, Regreening Iringa is setting the stage for lasting change and a more sustainable, prosperous future for these villages. Stay tuned as we continue to grow and nurture the green revolution in Iringa!
