Project Beneficiaries
Boresha Mazingira empowers women by promoting sustainable, ecosystem-friendly income-generating activities that improve household livelihoods while protecting the environment. Through training, support, and community engagement, women are encouraged to become leaders in conservation efforts—demonstrating that environmental stewardship and economic empowerment can go hand in hand.
