Sustainable Futures Tanzania (SFT) - Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability

Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability Program

Program Overview

The Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability Program aims to build climate-resilient, environmentally responsible communities by empowering children, youth, women, and communities to understand, respond to, and take action against climate change.

Communities in Tanzania are increasingly affected by climate-related challenges such as droughts, unpredictable rainfall, environmental degradation, and food insecurity. Sustainable Futures Tanzania addresses these challenges through education, youth-led action, and community-based environmental initiatives that promote sustainable practices and long-term resilience.

Our Focus Areas

The program focuses on the following key areas:

Climate Education and Awareness: Increasing knowledge on climate change, environmental conservation, and sustainable practices among children, youth, and communities.
Youth-Led Climate Action: Supporting youth to lead environmental initiatives such as clean-up campaigns, tree planting, school gardens, and climate advocacy activities.
Environmental Conservation: Promoting the protection and restoration of natural resources through tree planting, waste management, and community conservation efforts.
Climate-Smart Practices: Encouraging climate-smart agriculture, water conservation, and environmentally friendly household practices.
Environmental Justiceand Inclusion: Ensuring that vulnerable groups, especially women and youth, are actively involved in climate decision-making and action.

Our Approach

SFT implements climate action initiatives through:

School-Based Climate Hubs: Delivering climate talks, environmental clubs, and practical learning sessions in schools and orphanages.
Community Outreach and Public Engagement: Engaging parents, caregivers, and community members through public meetings, door-to-door awareness, and joint NGO field activities.
Sports, Arts and Storytelling: Using creative approaches such as sports, games, storytelling, and art to engage children and youth in climate education.
Partnership-Based Implementation: Collaborating with NGOs, schools, community groups, and local authorities to maximize reach and minimize costs.

media and digital platforms.
