Our Trees, Our Life/Miti Yetu, Maisha Yetu is a non-governmental organization in Tanzania committed to tree plantation, environmental conservation, and empowering communities to build a sustainable and greener future.
Our mission is to restore degraded lands, conserve biodiversity, and promote sustainable livelihoods through tree planting, awareness programs, and community participation.
Tanzania faces serious challenges of deforestation, climate change, and land degradation. Tree plantation helps combat these problems by restoring forests, protecting water sources, reducing soil erosion, and improving air quality.
We operate across Tanzania, working with local communities, schools, and institutions. Our projects focus on rural and semi-urban areas that are most affected by deforestation and environmental challenges.
Our programs benefit schools, farmers, communities, and the environment at large. By planting trees, we improve livelihoods, enhance biodiversity, and secure a better life for current and future generations.
No. In addition to tree plantation, we run conservation awareness campaigns, support climate-smart agriculture, promote sustainable livelihoods (like agroforestry and beekeeping), and protect natural ecosystems.
