About the Foundation

Natural-resource stewardship, led by communities.

Founded by Sharon Ringo in Dar es Salaam, the Foundation is a natural-resource-management organisation with a thematic focus on climate action, environmental justice and sustainability. We influence children, youth and communities to think and act — on climate change, environmental justice and sustainable tourism.

Our Mission

To influence children, youth and communities to act on climate change, environmental justice and sustainability — building self-advocacy-driven initiatives at local, national and international levels.

Our Vision

A Tanzania — and an Africa — where communities steward their natural resources for a just, resilient and sustainable future.

What We Do

Four areas of focus.

Interconnected work that protects people and the natural world they depend on.

Climate Action

Helping communities understand and respond to climate change through education, advocacy and evidence-based research.

Environmental Justice

Championing the rights of communities most affected by environmental harm — with gender and human rights at the centre.

Sustainability

Promoting responsible management of natural resources so that people and ecosystems can thrive together.

Sustainable Tourism

Protecting Tanzania's extraordinary landscapes and wildlife while creating opportunity for local communities.

Our Approach

We put people at the centre.

Children & youth

We nurture the next generation of environmental stewards — building awareness and self-advocacy so young people can lead change in their own communities.

EducationYouth leadershipSelf-advocacy

Women & girls

We centre women and girls in climate and environmental action — because equitable, lasting change is impossible without them. Gender and human rights run through everything we do.

Research & advocacy

We conduct evidence-based research on climate-change impacts and sustainable tourism, turning insight into advocacy from the local level all the way to the international stage.
