ABOUT PROJECT
Due to a prolonged drought in certain regions of Tanzania, significant water scarcity has arisen due to inadequate rainfall. This has posed challenges for farmers in meeting food demands, resulting in food insecurity in affected areas. The shortage of food has forced people to engage in harmful activities like charcoal production, further exacerbating the drought. This issue has a notable impact on women, who play a crucial role in providing daily meals for their families.
To address these challenges, the "Seeds for the Future" project has initiated a program to empower women by training them on using limited water resources efficiently for both agricultural production and environmental conservation. The project aims to enhance food security, promote environmental conservation, and protect animals in these vulnerable regions of Tanzania.
ASPECT OF THE PROJECT
Food security
In the "Seeds for the Future" initiative, women are offered a chance to gain practical knowledge by creating a basic Eco-friendly garden while circulating water from kitchen and other uses. The produce from this garden is Eco-friendly and safe for consumption. Given the high market demand for organic products, this project not only boosts women's earnings but also guarantees food security for their children and remains will be used to feed their animals.
Environment and animal protection
In the fight against drought in the Same region, our aim is to prevent animals from suffering due to a lack of pasture. By ensuring food availability, we can decrease animal exploitation. This project focuses on promoting Eco-friendly agriculture to combat drought and prevent land degradation, with the ultimate goal of eradicating drought in the Same region.
Children and women empowement
In Swahili, there is a saying, "Ukimsaidia mwanamke umesaidia jamii nzima," meaning "When you empower women, you empower the whole community." The Seeds for the Future project focuses on empowering women to face the challenges of drought. Many children lack essentials due to economic hardships, with some forced into labor or school dropouts. Our project addresses this by teaching efficient water use for kitchen gardens and educating women on planting profitable fruit trees. This initiative aims to improve food security, promote environmental conservation, and uplift communities.
