MAUJATA is the one Org.that makes it projet to majority the projects we have done include tree nursery projects and tree planting along the Village. A group in Mpomvu village has protected Mtakuja water spring; Conservation of the water source is also done by planting trees around to ensure clean water. Another group in Geita district is undertaking a project in livestock improvement through zero grazing as a way of curbing overgrazing in the area which leads to soil erosion. With zero grazing, the community is also planting fodder grass as a sustainable supply of cattle feed but also as a way of reducing soil erosion.
Community groups also intend to improve the local cattle breeds through artificial insemination, which they hope will improve milk production. Through these projects, the community members’ livelihoods will be boosted and sustained. MAUJATA said that so far 466,500 tree seedlings have been planted to restore forest cover where trees had been depleted. This is hoped to reduce environmental stress around Geita district. Also Beach Management Unit officials have been trained on management of how to tree plant resources and 6,690 community members have been trained in project management which has improved their capacity to run their Community Demand Driven Sub-projects
