Magugu Community, Tanzania

We have partnered with the Magugu community for 15 years; and are seeing the long-term impact our work is having on the children of Magugu.

Improving farming practices and livelihoods has been a core focus of our work with the Magugu community, as we worked together to adjust to the changing environmental factors. In 2018 we have restored 300 metres of irrigation canal, which serves two major rice-producing villages. Irrigation farming has enabled 480 farmers along this canal to produce during the offseason and to produce non-traditional crops like fruits and vegetables that enable them to increase their income. The farmers now have the assurance of getting income even during the off-season.
