In 2007, TFCG challenged seven villages in Kilwa and Rufiji Districts to come up with a vision of how they could live more harmoniously with the environment around them. Women, men, young and old were involved in the discussions. As a result each village came up with its unique vision and a strategy to achieve that vision.

TFCG are now working with each of those villages to make that vision a reality. This includes supporting villages to improve their agriculture; to develop village land use plans and gain more secure land tenure; to conserve the forests on village land; to participate in jointly managing adjacent government reserves; and to integrate environmental education in the curriculum that is being taught in the primary schools.
