Lead Foundation Tanzania

In Matare village, Singida, Pilly Hamis is turning her farm into a thriving agroforestry success 🌳🌾 With 200+ #fmnr trees, she’s seeing less erosion, better rain retention & higher yields. Nature works best when it works together. 💚 #Agroforestry #KisikiHai

Healing land, uplifting lives 🌍🌱 At LEAD Foundation, we scale up #NatureBasedSolutions like #FMNR (Kisiki Hai) and rainwater harvesting to restore ecosystems and support communities. #LandRestoration #Agroforestry #ClimateResilience

Just 3 yrs ago, a seed bank in Mungere, Arusha was just an idea. Today, 77kg of Cenchrus ciliaris seeds are restoring other 8 hectares of land 🌱 This hardy grass is driving both restoration & livelihoods. The land is healing and so is the future. 💚 #LandRestoration #Africa

Our new bunds project in Iringa is transforming once barren drylands into thriving green lands! After years of lifeless soil, nature is making a powerful comeback. Thanks to rainwater harvested by the bunds during the rainy season. #LEADfoundation #Rainwater

From barren to blooming, the Earth smiles wide! Happy to see that our #EarthSmiles have started to bring back vegetation in the dry lands of our project areas They work magic beneath the surface—capturing rainwater, slowing erosion, & restoring the rich soil that sustains life

The true power of earth smiles🌱🌙 Even in the harshest dry seasons, our bund sites remain a reliable source of sustenance for both livestock and the community. This not only boosts local livelihoods but also generates income that supports development projects. With @justdiggit

It’s more than just regreening, it’s a movement!🌿🌿 We have activated over 200,000 farmers in Tanzania. On a mission to bring back trees, using our Kisiki Hai #fmnr technique they have restored an inspiring 23 million trees! 🌳 with @justdiggit @ecosia @awakentrees

#Regreening has a positive impact not only on the environment and the community but also on the local wildlife. A lot of wildlife frequently graze in our project areas (bund sites) because they are almost the only areas left with grass. With @justdiggit

Amazing things have happened this year! Here are some of our key highlights of 2024. Thank you for your support and we wish you a Happy and Greener 2025 🌍🌳 #LEADfoundation #2024 #Highlights #KisikiHai #restoration

LEAD Foundation at UNCCD COP16 in Riyadh! We’re thrilled to join global leaders, innovators, and regreening advocates at the COP16, taking place in Riyadh from 2–13 December 2024. This landmark conference, themed Our Land Our Future, celebrates 30 years of advancing solutions

Transformation in just 4 months? Believe it!🌱 The power of Nature-based Solutions such as #earthsmiles where we start by digging, harvesting rainwater, then lush vegetation grows in the bunds and the greenery spreads its magic across the plot. With @justdiggit

In just 2 years, these #EarthSmiles 🌙 have brought a remarkable transformation to the landscape. The vegetation first starts recovering in the bunds, and now it has already spread to its surroundings making the whole plot green. With @justdiggit

A breathtaking 3-year revival 🌱✨ From barren to blooming, the Earth smiles wide! Our #EarthSmiles not only brought back vibrant grass but also trees! They also work magic on the surface—capturing rainwater, slowing erosion, and protecting the rich soil that sustains life.

Nature’s Comeback, One Tree at a Time Meet Eyeyo Kapurwa from Arusha, Tanzania! In just three years, she’s restored over 200 trees back to life on her farm using the #Kisiki Hai #FMNR method. 🌳 This technique empowers farmers to regreen their landscapes, restore their soil

Instead of planting new trees, Kisiki Hai or known as #fmnr involves selectively trimming stem outgrowths and nurturing the strongest ones from a tree stump. This method helps the chosen stems grow faster and stronger, transforming a simple stump into a tree. With @justdiggit

Magical half-moon bunds 🌙🌿 The magic of Half moon bunds in Pembamoto, Tanzania! This transformation isn't just about the landscape; it's about changing lives. By harvesting rainwater using bunds we are restoring grass taller than the farmers themselves! With @justdiggit

The Bunds Cooling effect 🌱❄️🌙 Our regreening initiative reveals a striking difference in temperature between the areas with half-moon bunds and the surrounding land. Vegetation is nature's air conditioners, helping us create cooler microclimates! 🌍 with @justdiggit

@AlloyceDuddyley @justdiggit Asante sana

@leadtz @justdiggit This is good,nafanya vzr sana

Every patch of green in these bunds makes a difference and helps to make the planet greener. Recent studies show that nature-based solutions can contribute up to 37% of the carbon emission intake required to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. With @justdiggit

@mbise_diana @justdiggit Thanks Diana 🌍🌳

@leadtz @justdiggit This is wonderful!! Good job @leadtz and @justdiggit ✅🔥
