JOIN OUR EFFORTS IN POVERTY REDUCTION THROUGH SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS:
Dear all,
My name is Mr. Remigius Mushenga from Morogoro Tanzania.
For more than 10 yrs I have working closer to wildlife and rural communities. I have met a lot of challenges, being land conflict resolution, poaching issues, environmental threats, education matters, entrepreneurial and alike.
I am asking myself, why using excessive energy and resources for something which can be dealt with other means.
We have a registered firm named:- NGERENGERE RIVER ECO/CAMP TOUR &ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES.
The major objective is poverty reduction through Conservation.
WHY THIS APPROACH? I think such question will knock in your mind! The whole issue is hidden at POVERTY crisis—
How do we fight poverty then? We need the really good strategies to combat the threats to improve the well-being.
In order to achieve the goal:
I am looking for and organ or individual willing to join hands and help the rural community in fighting poverty through different means.
We are in very much need of organisations or individuals who are for the CONSERVATION OF NGERENGERE RIVER.
The River is at high threats from human activities due to lack of awareness and low capacity among the people and communities along the River. Mind you the River is the only major water source for thousands of people in more than 20 villages..
Please sign this petition to show your support.
