In Tanzania, as in many countries worldwide, sustainable living is an important and growing topic. However, while many people have heard of sustainable living, they may not fully understand its meaning. A lack of knowledge and exposure has led to lifestyles that contribute to environmental and health challenges for future generations. The Organic Garden | Sustainable Kitchen initiative promotes organic gardening to sustain kitchen supplies. It encourages small-scale or backyard gardening, making it accessible even to those without land. The project aims to provide households with a sufficient supply of pesticide-free vegetables and fruits, reducing living costs by utilizing small backyard spaces for food production.

Many local people improved their English skills through exchanging with international volunteers, or at least they try to speak the English language more and dare to face and work with the foreigner even though they cannot speak English. Moreover, volunteers’ activities impacted the local community. They used to stay lively and trusty with the foreigner. Local people have a chance to learn, accept, and adopt the ways of life with the different cultures.
