Challenges facing the agriculture industry of Tanzania include climate change, an increase in population, and the resulting droughts, floods, agriculture temperature shocks, as well as a lack of agricultural technology. These pose severe challenges to the living standards of most people involved in the agriculture industry in Tanzania and create huge increases in unemployment, hunger, malnutrition, starvation, and disease rates.
The project was initiated in 1997 by Dr. Everest Maguo and his wife, Evelyn Maguo, who have experience in agriculture, environmental services, and veterinary services. It was established with the aim of empowering farmers with new skills, technologies, and advice on animal care, environmental issues, and agricultural matters.
The Project:
The volunteer activities start from 9 a.m. to the afternoon, from Monday to Friday. Sometimes you will be invited to work on Saturday for your own choice.
The project activities are mobile, such as visiting farmers and schools for education and advice. Other activities will be stationed at Sekei main office, where you will be working in the small garden, which has vegetables and fruit trees or walk and care for their dogs. You will become a full member of the team, enriching their knowledge with yours and exchanging a lot of ideas.
Lunch is not provided.
IMPORTANT
You
do not need any previous knowledge, but a strong belief of the
importance of agriculture, environmental conservation and a love to
communicate with people about that topic should be a given part of
you. Please note: in order to implement the project and buy trees, a one-time donation of 100 USD is required for agriculture equipment and transport.
