Program Details

Seed planting: - We plant various seeds including fruits, medicinal plants, fruit vegetables, this is due to the climate change we are facing. Volunteers will have the opportunity to help with the hard work and provide the expertise they have.

Installation of affordable drip irrigation:-
We are developing and distributing equipment that is affordable for farmers and is environmentally friendly in almost all regions of Tanzania. This is an area where volunteers will collaborate with our team to help with the number of installations. You do not need to have great expertise. We have been able to reach approximately 37,000 people in urban and rural areas.

We provide training and advice to farmers:-
Our main target is to reach young people who are the largest group of people with low incomes and have the ability to produce more than older people. There are farmers who get the opportunity to visit us and learn more practically while here on the farm. We also have farmers from various countries who visit us to learn various skills and exchange ideas on agriculture and animal husbandry, including from countries like the UK, Brazil, Canada, Belgium and Asia. Volunteers will help prepare lessons and various teaching methods. Also for those with a teaching profession, this is the only place they can help. Computer experts are also needed in this area.

Production of organic compost:-
In real agriculture, we are also involved in raising Chickens, Ducks and Rabbits. Rabbits also produce urine which is harvested and stored for fertilizer on plants and pesticides on crops and vegetables.

Insect farming is one of the activities carried out in our area:-
These insects are the famous black solder fly (BSF) which provides fertilizer for vegetables.

Activities & Shift

Cultivation of Veggies:-
Not only for producing seedlings and various plants but we also grow vegetables to gain experience and know the challenges that farmers face after giving them to us. According to that there are volunteers who have experience in agriculture and love beautiful landscapes.

Fish farming:-.
We also raise fish in our ponds whose water is obtained from rain. That water is also used in our agriculture. All this we teach people how to harvest and use that water for other activities. There are volunteers who come from countries that raise fish or are on the seashore and have great experience with how the farming is done.

Growing and keeping animals feeders:- .
Due to climate change that affects farmers and livestock in production activities. We raise insects called Black Soldier Flies (BSF) as a source of protein which is food for livestock such as Chicken and Duck. We produce plants that are grown on water that has been frozen called Azola, which is food for our Fish. We also grow grass for livestock such as cows, Rabbits and goats. We believe that learning is the key to understanding things we do not understand. We welcome various volunteers including those with expertise in producing animal feed using natural materials.

We treat soil for agriculture:-
We have succeeded in becoming an area where we treat our small land for its suitability for proper agricultural use. Where we also provide training to various people on this low-cost technology for rural and urban farmers.
