Home - Tanzania Conservation and Community Empowerment

Who We Are

We’re legally registered nonprofit organization dedicated to natural resource management, education and community empowerment. We work with a range of partners and stakeholders to support the efforts made by the government of Tanzania towards natural resource management and community empowerment.

What We Do

At TACCEI, we believe that change is driven by communities taking ownership of their future and shaping it in their vision, our work focuses on:

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

Tanzania’s wildlife faces unprecedented level of threats from loss and fragmentation of habitat, poaching, hunting, climate change, and population growth.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

We work with local communities to increase their capacity to develop sustainable livelihood options that reduce poverty and conserve biodiversity.

EDUCATION SUPPORT

In Maasai Community, high level of illiteracy as a result of limited access to education, especially for women and girls, presents a serious obstacle to community growth.

PROJECTS

Education Projects

Jitolee Education Project

Since 2007, enrolment of primary school-aged children has been dropping. An estimated 2 million children between the ages of 7 and 13 years are out-of-school.

Wildlife Conservation Projects

Conservation education project

Long-term change can best be achieved through accelerating change in people’s attitudes towards wildlife. Conservation education is in that way an essential part of field conservation projects.

Community Empowerment

Maximize rural production through empowering smallholder farmers in Tanzania

The application of ecological principles and concepts at the smallholder farming level is very effective in creating a complete (balanced) agro-ecosystem on agricultural farms

Supporting people with disabilities

Tuwaibue Project

Our project aims to achieve two main objectives;

1). Attitude change among the Maasai community towards PWDs; and

2). to create an empowered community of PWDs economically, socially and politically.
