🌱WE DID IT — TOGETHER! 🌊

Our Ma Earth Match-Funding Campaign has officially closed, and together we raised TSh 10,000,000 to support our Mikoko Yetu initiative! 💚

But this is about more than planting mangroves.

Your support will help us restore degraded mangrove ecosystems while empowering young people and coastal communities with the skills, opportunities and leadership to become long-term guardians of our ocean.

We are building Generation Restoration — a generation that doesn’t wait for change, but takes action to restore our ocean in our lifetime.

A special thank you:

💙To Ma Earth for welcoming SOA Tanzania into the 3rd Round of the Match-Funding Campaign and believing in our vision.

💙To every person who donated directly, shared our campaign, encouraged others to give and amplified our story — this achievement belongs to you too!

The campaign may be over, but the restoration is just beginning. 🌱

We can’t wait to take you along as your support turns into mangroves restored, communities empowered and young restoration leaders equipped to make a difference.

Together, we restore.
Together, we empower.
Together, we keep making waves. 🌊💚💙

🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE

For Ailars David, it took one person to believe in his vision—and an entire community followed.

When the Founder and Hub Leader of Sustainable Ocean Alliance Tanzania (SOA-Tanzania), a 2025 winner, listened beyond the waves of the beaches where he grew up, he saw a dual crisis unfolding for both his community and the marine environment.

In this episode, discover how Ailars and his team:
🌊 Built a youth-led movement of over 800 ocean leaders.
🌱 Turned seagrass restoration and mangrove conservation into thriving bioenterprises.
👩‍🌾 Created sustainable, self-sustaining livelihoods for coastal women.

🌊 1,105 OCEAN LEADERS — AND COUNTING! 🇹🇿💙

Today, on International Youth Day, we celebrate an incredible milestone for our ocean community.

When we started this journey in 2020, we had a bold vision: to build a powerful community of Tanzanian youth who are equipped, connected, and empowered to lead solutions for our ocean.

We set ourselves a goal: build a community of 1,000+ Ocean Leaders by 2030.

But today, 12 August 2026, with almost half the decade still ahead of us, our community has officially grown to:

1,105 OCEAN LEADERS! 🎉🌊

That is 1,105 young people taking action to restore ocean health in our lifetime.

🌱 1,105 Ocean Leaders restoring and protecting mangroves, seagrass and coral reefs.

⚖️ 1,105 Ocean Leaders raising their voices in ocean governance and policy.

💡 1,105 Ocean Leaders driving innovation and building solutions for a sustainable blue economy.

📣 1,105 Ocean Leaders advancing ocean campaigns, literacy and community awareness.

🇹🇿 1,105 Ocean Leaders taking action across Tanzania for the future of our ocean.

This milestone belongs to every young person who has joined this movement, every partner who believed in our vision, every community that welcomed us, and every supporter who helped us grow.

Asante sana! 💙

And we are only getting started.

The next chapter is about going deeper, wider and further — scaling our community, strengthening youth-led solutions, and building a generation capable of restoring ocean health in our lifetime.

From a vision in 2020 to 1,105 Ocean Leaders in 2026. The movement is growing. 🌊🇹🇿

Happy International Youth Day 2026! 🎉

🌿 It’s more than planting trees.

At SOA Tanzania, mangrove restoration is about restoring both nature and livelihoods.

Last year alone, more than 30 women and youth were empowered through our Mangrove Beekeeping Initiative, receiving hands-on practical training and essential beekeeping tools to help build sustainable blue economy livelihoods while protecting our precious mangrove ecosystems.

Now, with only 6 days left in our fundraising campaign with Ma Earth you still have the opportunity to be part of this journey.

Your support helps us restore coastal ecosystems, empower coastal communities, create green jobs for young people, and build a healthier, more resilient ocean for future generations.
