Environment and Community Development
Much is heard about the development of the Third World, however reality seldom matches the encouraging
political discourses.
NGERIV emerged from a bottom down approach, where
solutions are discussed and implemented at the local level, aiming to help the community as a whole. The main projects are located in Bwawani village and neighbouring villages, near Morogoro in Tanzania.
The current situation in most rural areas in Tanzania makes development hard to achieve. Economic hardship, lack of knowledge and other structural difficulties
lead families to act inneficiently and unaware of alternatives. This reality ensures the permanence of poverty and environmental depletion.
NGERIV aims to tackle the existing problems through collective community effort. It aims to empower individuals with the necessary capabilities to improve their livelihoods. Our area of intervention can be divided
into three reciprocally inter-related areas:
-
Education;
-
Alternative means of income;
-
Environmental sustainability.
