About Us

Economic Sector Descriptions
Agriculture

Our innovative suite of technologies and practices empowers farmers to adapt to changing environmental conditions while maximizing yields sustainably. Through cutting-edge data analytics, precision agriculture tools, and tailored climate-adaptive strategies, we revolutionize traditional farming methods. Our mission is to safeguard agricultural livelihoods and global food security by providing scalable, efficient, and environmentally conscious solutions that enhance resilience and productivity in a changing climate.

All of this will be achieved through introducing resilient farming practices, promoting crop diversification, facilitating access to climate-smart technologies, and offering comprehensive training, the project aims to bolster agricultural resilience.


Ultimately, it strives to secure sustainable livelihoods for farmers, enhance food security, and foster a more robust agricultural sector capable of withstanding the evolving climatic conditions in Kigoma and beyond in Tanzania.

 

Education

One of the most important ways of increasing the rate of development in Kigoma is providing children with proper education. In rural areas of Kigoma education is not prioritized and access to education can be very limited. KIOO works to both increase access to education but also educate local communities about the importance of education. We do that through Building primary /secondary schools and vocational training centre; Building hostels for students in need of housing in order to attend school; Raising issues regarding child labor and strengthening legislation to protect children's’ right to education; Training school administrators on how to efficiently manage schools and education Vocational training and educating parents on the benefits of giving children an education

Health

In rural areas access to healthcare can be limited. In some cases people have to walk upwards of 50 km to reach their closest healthcare provider. This is especially an issue for women in rural communities. KIOO is focusing on increasing access to healthcare by building dispensaries in remote location and also addressing treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS and Malaria. Also we work to make sure those local communities with running water; raising issues regarding access to healthcare, especially for women and children; raising awareness to local communities on family planning and malnutrition among young children.
