Digging versus No Digging! No filter needed. In this picture, the positive impact of our bunds is clearly visible. Have you ever wondered why the area around our bunds is green? The bunds enable rainwater to enter the ground more easily, thereby allowing existing seeds in and around the bunds to sprout. Together with our partner Justdiggit, we implemented a Rainwater Harvesting pilot Project in Pembamoto village, Kongwa District. The project which involved some 80 hectare area aimed at bringing back

Enjoy watching our farmer stories video from our Arusha regreening program, see how our regreening projects with Justdiggit bring hope to the community and the efforts we do with the local communities to make dry lands green again. Erbacher Foundation supports LEAD Foundation and Justdiggit’s regreening projects in Arusha, Tanzania. Two of our main regreening techniques are: Water bunds: Man – made holes in the dry top layer through which rainwater can infiltrate the earth. Kisiki Hai: A pruning technique which

We talk about Kisiki Hai a lot around here. This is because it is a very simple and fast solution to regreen dry lands. Kisiki Hai has an extremely high survival rate in drylands. In the photo you can clearly see how fast a tree that is being restored by Kisiki Hai can grow in a dry land in just about half an year. Imagine how it will be in 3 years? Together with our partner Justdiggit we have already restored

200 new champion farmers from Mpwayungu division of Dodoma have attended our Kisiki Hai Training of Trainers (ToT) training that involves restoration of dry landscapes. The training was 2 days long that included Kisiki Hai restoration technique, planting of Gliricidia trees and methods to collect data of trees. The training was a huge success; from sharing experiences and learning from experts as well as finding out the best way to make the project a success. The trainings allowed more relaxed and

Good news – we have expanded our reach and scaled up the regreening to Mpwayungu division of Chamwino district in Dodoma region. In partnership with One Tree Planted and World Resource Institute through #TerraFund for #AFR100 initiative we aim to restore around 500,000 trees in Mpwayungu division by the year 2026. We kicked off the project with a very successful advocacy meeting to seek stakeholders support (government, religious, public, private) and introduction of the regreening project. Working together with stakeholders will

In 2018 together with Justdiggit and local farmers we started restoring trees using Kisiki Hai in the below communal land located in Iduo village in Dodoma Tanzania. In 2021 the land has already shown significant changes with 3,000+ trees that have been restored using Kisiki Hai technique. This is just one the hundreds of communal lands which have been restored and just a small piece of the in total 6.3 million trees that we have restored together since 2018.

In two years we have restored over 400,000 trees in Mima and Kibakwe disvisions of Mpwapwa district. We have achieved this in partnership with Ecosia and the local farmers. These trees have been brought back using a method named Kisiki Hai, it helps to restore degraded lands and make them green and healthy again.  FMNR or as we like to call it Kisiki Hai, is fundamental to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), improving the lives of thousands of people and their

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
