Sustainable livelihoods. We work with communities to meet their present needs while safeguarding resources for future generations. This program integrates food security, income generation, and environmental stewardship to build resilience against poverty and climate change. By promoting innovative farming practices, diversifying income sources, and conserving natural ecosystems, communities can thrive in ways that are socially inclusive, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable.
At Impact Lead Tanzania, our sustainable livelihoods initiatives focus on equipping small holder farmers especially youth and women with practical skills, resources, and opportunities to strengthen household well being while protecting the environment.
A project aims to establish replicable, community driven regenerative agriculture model that transforms smallholder-farming practices moving away from expensive chemical dependency towards locally produced organic systems that restore soil health, increase climate resilience and creates income streams for farmers and youth through demonstration of One-acre farm based on Ecological Organic Agriculture (EOA) in Chemchem Village. The initiative serves as a practical learning hub where ecological knowledge and techniques are shared with local communities and surrounding areas. By linking farmers with youth who are Local Service Providers (LSPs), the project strengthens agricultural systems through innovation and sustainable practices. We collaborate with Mikuyu Tanzania, Saint Joseph Sustainable (SJS) Organic Farm, and Ecological Organic Agriculture.

This project involves 10 women and youth in Chemchem Village. By establishing tree nurseries, the project promotes environmental conservation while strengthening community resilience. It combines ecological restoration with livelihood opportunities, ensuring that young people and women are both caretakers of the environment and drivers of local development.
