Eco Village Tanzania: Sustainable Communities
for Orphans and Vulnerable Families

The Eco Village in Tanzania is a long-term development project creating a safe, sustainable community for orphaned and vulnerable children while supporting surrounding families. Located near Dar es Salaam, the village combines family-style eco-homes, education, healthcare, and livelihoods within an environmentally regenerative setting. Children live in small homes with full-time caregivers, attend school, and grow up with stability, dignity, and faith at the centre of daily life.

Donations help build and maintain eco-homes, support residential care, and fund shared facilities, including an Eco Mosque, training spaces, and green infrastructure.

Contributions also sustain permaculture farming, water harvesting, and tree planting, reducing costs while strengthening food security and resilience.

So far, the Eco Village has provided long-term care for dozens of vulnerable girls, restored degraded land, planted thousands of trees, and created local jobs through agriculture and eco-training. Each donation supports safe housing, education, and environmental regeneration, delivering lasting impact for children and the wider community.

Eco Village Stories of Hope and Transformation

Before arriving at the Eco Village, many children had known loss, instability, and repeated displacement. Without consistent care, education, or safe shelter, their futures felt uncertain and fragile. Support matters because childhood should be rooted in security, belonging, and opportunity, not survival alone. Through the Eco Village, that story changes. 

 Children move into family homes, attend school daily, and grow within a caring community that nurtures faith, confidence, and wellbeing. Caregivers, teachers, and local staff walk alongside them, offering stability and hope. What begins as protection becomes possibility, where children grow beyond crisis toward purpose and dignity.

Why it Matters

Eco villages reduce poverty and climate risk while restoring dignity, protecting resources, and creating lasting, community-led development for future generations.

A Human Story of Hope at the Eco Village

When Aisha arrived at the Eco Village, she had lost her parents, and her education was falling apart. Safe housing, regular meals, and patient care changed everything. One donation helped restore stability, confidence, and routine. Today, she attends school consistently, helps care for younger girls, and dreams of protecting the environment that helped rebuild her future.

“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate.”

Sahih al‑Bukhari, Hadith no. 6005
