Women's Empowerment
Climate change impacts all of us, but not all of us equally. That’s why we design projects that specifically benefit women and work under a mandate to ensure that more than 50% of project beneficiaries in Zanzibar are women.

Mangrove Restoration
Mangrove forests are crucial resources for maintaining the livelihoods of fishing communities. We are working with our team in Zanzibar to reforest these critical coast forests for climate resilience and livelihood opportunities.

Permaculture Gardens
Women in Zanzibar are now producing food directly outside of their homes. These intensive kitchen gardens provide families with an immediate source of nutritious crops for household consumption and to sell at markets, supporting women’s economic empowerment and equality.

Rebalancing the Scales
Communities in Zanzibar are facing unique and disproportionate impacts of climate change while being among the least responsible for its causes. We work alongside our partners, Community Forests International, to overcome barriers to equitable access to resources needed to overcome the climate crisis.
Support Our Work
The communities we work with in Zanzibar are some of the most vulnerable to the impacts of the climate crisis. Your support helps communities and their environments adapt and thrive in a changing climate.
