Join the Green Mission: A Sustainable Future for Tanzania 🌍🌿
Forests and agroforestry are nature’s most effective solutions to climate change, helping to absorb carbon, restore ecosystems, and improve livelihoods. One mature tree can store up to 48 lbs of CO₂ per year while releasing 260 lbs of oxygen annually—essential for sustaining life. Grasslands also play a critical role, absorbing up to 3,600 lbs of CO₂ per acre each year while producing vital oxygen.
At Mikoko Development Foundation (MDF), we see this as an incredible opportunity to invest in strategic tree planting—one that not only fights climate change but also improves human health, enhances biodiversity, and creates economic value. Our approach ensures sustainability and long-term financial benefits, as communities can harvest fruits and agricultural products without harming forests.
The Urgent Need for Action
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest city, covers 1,590 km² and is home to over 7.4 million people. A significant portion of the population relies on charcoal for daily energy needs, primarily sourced from Pwani (Coast) and other regions, contributing to widespread deforestation. Shockingly, Dar es Salaam consumes half of Tanzania’s total charcoal supply—approximately 500,000 tonnes per year (World Bank, 2009).
To combat deforestation and promote sustainable energy alternatives, the Green Mission Project is taking decisive action:
✅ Forest Restoration & Greening Efforts – Planting 1 million trees to restore lost biodiversity in Bahi, Mkuranga, Kaliua and Busega districts, creating a healthier and greener environment.
✅ Cookstove Market Expansion – Establishing a clean cookstove market in Dar es Salaam to provide an alternative to charcoal, significantly reducing tree cutting.
✅ Empowering Local Producers – Financing local cookstove manufacturers in Mkuranga to create affordable, energy-efficient stoves for widespread adoption.
✅ Climate Cooling & Soil Protection – Trees naturally reduce temperature extremes through evaporation and prevent soil erosion by absorbing rainwater.
✅ Sustainable Livelihoods – Communities will benefit economically from sustainable forestry, agroforestry, and clean energy businesses.
Why Support This Project? (Expected Outcomes & Impact):
🌊 Flood & Drought Mitigation – Trees help regulate water cycles, reducing the risk of extreme climate conditions.
