Seeds of Change

In a country dominated by agriculture, how do we grow climate-resilient ecosystems and livelihoods?

Answer: From the ground up.

Local farmers in Zanzibar are striving to cultivate diverse spice crops and create sustainable, flourishing farming ecosystems. With your help, we can empower farmers, providing the support they need to grow resilient livelihoods.

We’ve reached thousands of farmers already, and you can help us reach thousands more.

Conservation, Cultivation, Community

Your donation means you’re an advocate and ally for Zanzibari women.

Any size donation is a part of the ripple effect that starts with supporting and empowering the incredible women farmers in Zanzibar who are growing diverse food forests for their families.

Gender inclusive economies mean everyone (and anyone) can earn income from sustainable farming, conserving biodiversity, and restoring forests. All of this contributes to long-term equality and environmental health – and communities that truly thrive.

And remember: our global community is only as healthy as all the members within it. All things are possible when we invest in women’s well-being and leadership. Give today to build more climate resilient and prosperous futures for local Zanzibari women, their families and local economies.
