Seedbombs Tanzania

We teach students how to make seed bombs and about nature conservation through established environmental clubs.

Educating

We aim to teach 20,000 students and train 1,200 teachers in two years. Educators and their students are encouraged to attend our Seed Bomb training programs which include academic presentations on ecological principles alongside the hands-on activities of creating Seed Bombs.

Planting

We aim to plant two million trees in two years. In keeping with inspiration from Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, our method for planting tens-of-thousands of SeedBombs is unequivocally people-centric. We believe it is essential that tree planting campaigns are designed around the needs of community members. When the time comes for planting, we work closely with community members and different schools. 

Sequestering

We aim to sequester 40 thousand tonnes of carbon dioxide. Newly planted trees capture more carbon from the atmosphere than mature trees, so encouraging reforestation using the efficient SeedBombs method is our primary focus. We support the creation of new tree nurseries on the grounds of schools that participate in our SeedBomb training programs to create as much impact as possible.
