TEG aims to improve the lives of young people near nature reserves through education, conservation and income generation programs.

Tengeneza means building. We aim to build spaces that empower and capacitate young people in socio-economic development in our communities.

TEG was founded in 2007 and registered in 2014 by Pius Matunge and Godfrey Mohere met at secondary school while volunteering in school outreach programs to the communities. Through this experience, they learned the hardship young people have to face due to limited livelihood skills that will uplift their potential in growing their knowledge and skills in income generating and self-employment. 

TEG is a member of the FAO Mountain Partnership and currently runs programs that support young people, including young mothers in communities near nature reserves. Our initiatives focus on economic empowerment, leadership development, environmental conservation and infrastructure projects such as building school facilities to enhance education and healthcare for students.

TEG collaborate with nature reserves and artists to document Tanzania’s forests, endangered species, and community-led conservation efforts. Our work also extends to preserving and promoting indigenous art, culture, and history in partnership with MAZI Art and Culture (MAZI).

TEG has a dedicated team of seven full-time staff members committed to driving impact in these areas.

Vission:

Young people are championing sustainable changes in their communities. In turn, they work with their families and neighbours to drive sustainable development into their homes. TEG’s work is to work closely with communities, respecting local culture to drive change.

Mission:

Ensure active participation of young people towards the achievement of sustainable development.

Main Goal:

To contribute to sustainable development through youth active participation and innovation across our thematic areas.

Specific Goals:

- To empower 10,000 young people (50/50 gender balance and 20% young mothers per year.), including young people with special needs and young mothers with the knowledge and skills in self-employment programs by 2030.
- To ensure high-quality education in schools by 2030, we aim to provide access to quality classrooms, sanitation, and hygiene through the WASH program for young people.
- To Conserve and protect biological diversity through communities adjacent to Eastern Arc Mountain by sensitising environmental education from 2025-2030.
