Our Partners

We also support some smaller organizations whom we work closely with:

TNRF
TNRF (Tanzania Natural Resource Forum) is a collective civil society-based initiative whose aim is to improve natural resource management in Tanzania by addressing fundamental issues of natural resource governance. They view the quality and equity of governance as fundamentally determining how natural resources are managed and how they support the livelihoods of Tanzanians and the sustainable economic development of the country.

TNRF work to improve accountability, transparency and local empowerment in natural resource management.

They bring together a diverse range of stakeholders and interests to share information, build collaboration and pool resources towards a common aim of better and devolved natural resource management.

Kamitei Foundation
'Better Teaching for a Better Future'
The Kamitei Foundation (“Kamitei”) is a non-religious charity that aims to make an effective contribution to the education of children in Tanzania through small scale investments in facilities and teaching aids and through the granting of individual scholarships.

Kamitei has developed an innovative approach aimed at improving the education of children in rural communities in Tanzania, Community Education Improvement (CEI) Program consists of two main elements:
• Improving the schools in the village through investments in basic requirements such as facilities (buildings, desks, chairs), teaching materials (books, pens, blackboards)
• Providing selected students with scholarships to pursue advanced education in fields that provide good employment prospects (e.g. tourism, veterinary, nursing).

Maajabu
Education through Film
 “Maajabu”, an adjective meaning “wonderful” or “amazing” in Kiswahili, focuses on education through the use of film and is a project under Tazama! Trust a non profit organization whose primary goal is the protection and conservation of natural resources and wildlife in Tanzania. Through film a message can reach hundreds of people at a time and can show people the wonder of the natural world, the environmental issues we face and some of the ways in which we can help to solve these. At the same time it is enjoyable and brings pleasure to many people who have limited access to cinema and the wonder of the big screen.

William Joseph (Zungu), a field officer with the Honey Guide Foundation, works a great deal with Maajabu taking the mobile unit to show Kiswahili-translated versions of donated films in various schools and communities around Tanzania.

“Many people are afraid of wild animals” says Zungu. “But after they see the films they become interested to learn about wildlife and even to join organisations that protect the animals.”
Zungu has also begun showing HIV/AIDS awareness films; these have a more mixed reception. “In the schools the children are very open. But in the villages, people are not comfortable with the subject. But still they are learning and they ask many questions”
