Nomad Tanzania

Previous support (2021-2024)

Our initial collaboration focused on income-generating activities for marginalized groups living on the periphery of national parks. We supported beekeeping groups, chicken projects, and farming training in these high-risk areas, then expanded into vocational training, education infrastructure, and health services. The partnership has enabled individuals to complete vocational training and conservation management courses, significantly improved learning conditions in schools, established active income-generating groups in beekeeping and poultry, and delivered health outreach and medical resources to thousands of community members across five locations.

Current support (2025-2026)

Building on this success, we’re now supporting an 18-month program spanning seven locations across Tanzania. The program links communities with positive wildlife benefits through skills development for young people, education access including bicycles for girls at risk of dropout and desks for improved learning environments, income diversification through new chicken groups and farming training, and health support with outreach and resources for village clinics. This integrated approach addresses the reality that communities closest to national parks often lack access to education, vocational training, and diversified income opportunities. By supporting vulnerable groups with practical skills and sustainable income activities, the program strengthens both community resilience and conservation outcomes in areas where people and wildlife coexist.
