Strengthening Rural Livelihoods: A Journey of Collaboration and Hope. August 17–18, 2025 | Arusha, Tanzania.

We had the incredible honor of welcoming Ms. Negumi Yoshioka and Ms. Chihira Tanaka—founders of Cherry & Co. and TOFA Japan NGO—for two inspiring days of dialogue, discovery, and partnership-building in Tanzania.

Day 1: Building Bridges for Inclusive Growth
On August 17, Savannah Vision Tanzania (SVTa) sat down with our Japanese partners to explore how we can open global markets for small-scale producers. The spotlight was on honey and coffee—two powerful products with the potential to uplift rural households.
Together, we committed to:
• Registration of Cherry and More Company as exporter of local rural producers’ goods.
• Mapping producer networks across Arusha, Kilimanjaro & Manyara
• Designing a sustainable logistics system to support rural communities

Day 2: Field Visit to Naitolia Village
We hit the road with Cherry & Co. to Naitolia village, where we witnessed firsthand the promise and challenges of rural life.
Highlights:
• Active beehives despite a tough season—hope is buzzing!
• Urgent needs: clean water access and school support
• Beekeeping as a lifeline amid climate challenges
We also visited the Nashipai Honey Processing Point in Makuyuni and tasted honey that was nothing short of exceptional. We're proud to begin branding it as Savannah Honey—a sweet symbol of resilience and opportunity.

Looking Ahead
Ms. Yoshioka and Ms. Tanaka expressed deep commitment to supporting our beekeepers and connecting them to Japanese markets. We’re excited about the road ahead and the lives we’ll impact together.
At SVTa, we believe in inclusive trade, community-driven development, and the power of partnerships to spark lasting change. This is just the beginning.

Strengthening Partnerships for Sustainable Development in Monduli District

On Thursday, 26th June 2025, Savannah Vision Tanzania proudly participated in the official NGOs coordination meeting organized by the Monduli District Office. The gathering brought together representatives from 44 active non-profit organizations currently supporting critical sectors including education, healthcare, agriculture, environmental protection, conservation, and human rights within the district.

The meeting served as a vital platform to reinforce collaboration among stakeholders and emphasize the importance of aligning NGO efforts with government frameworks. The District Registrar highlighted that NGOs play an indispensable role in shaping the district’s development trajectory and urged for strengthened partnerships that advance long-term, sustainable impact.

A key recommendation from the session was the formal recognition and documentation of NGO contributions within the district’s official development reports. Organizations were also reminded of the need to operate in full compliance with national laws and guidelines governing civil society in Tanzania.

Representing Savannah Vision Tanzania, our team shared progress updates from our new community development initiative in Naitolia Village. The project is already delivering positive outcomes, and we remain committed to deepening our engagement with local communities in the region.

Government officials in attendance, including the district commissioner’s representative, reaffirmed the nation’s appreciation for NGO support—highlighting that in 2024 alone, the sector contributed an impressive TSh 3 trillion towards national development. The Regional Chairman encouraged ongoing inter-organizational learning and collaboration, proposing regular exchange visits to foster peer learning and share best practices.

We are honored to stand alongside visionary partners who are transforming lives across Monduli. Savannah Vision Tanzania remains steadfast in our mission to empower communities and contribute meaningfully to Tanzania’s development journey.

We’re thrilled to announce that construction of our new office in Monduli town is nearing completion. This milestone marks a significant step forward in expanding our capacity to host volunteers and coordinate our growing community development initiatives more effectively.

Thanks to a generous donation from Mr. Yuji, our office is now equipped with four good laptops and a high-quality digital camera — essential tools that will greatly enhance our documentation and communication efforts. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for this meaningful support.

In terms of equipment, we are already well-stocked with printers and a scanner. As we move closer to completion, our next priorities include furnishing the space and exploring the possibility of acquiring a vehicle to facilitate our fieldwork and outreach activities.

🌿 Progress Update from Naitolia Village 🐝
On April 16, 2025, our team visited Naitolia Village to monitor the progress of the 40 beehives we proudly donated to the local community. We’re excited to share that every installed hive is now actively hosting bees — a promising sign for the upcoming harvest season.

During our visit, we learned that three households, all led by widowed women, faced challenges in hanging their hives due to the absence of male support. In response, we reached out to a respected village elder who graciously offered his assistance, ensuring these women could participate fully in the project.

Thanks to his help, all hives are now properly sited, and we look forward to the first honey harvest in August. 🍯

We are inspired by the resilience of this community and grateful to play a role in empowering sustainable livelihoods.
