A Major Milestone Achieved

Over the last four years, we’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of climate change on our community near Lake Victoria. Seasonal flooding has become increasingly severe, threatening the safety of our hospital and the lives of our patients, staff, and surrounding communities.

The rising waters have claimed at least 200 meters of land, creeping closer to our hospital with every rainy season. As many of you know, our hospital’s proximity to Lake Victoria is crucial. We rely on the lake to provide a steady supply of clean, treated water for our operations - a vital resource in an area with no running water infrastructure. Yet, this closeness to the lake has made us vulnerable to the dangers of flooding.

The Dangers of Flooding

Floodwaters are not just an inconvenience; they bring serious threats:

Wildlife Encroachment: Floodwaters displace animals like snakes and crocodiles, bringing them dangerously close to our hospital and residential areas.

Parasites and Diseases: The stagnant water is a breeding ground for parasites such as schistosomiasis, while waterborne diseases like typhoid become rampant as long-drop toilets are washed out. With no sewage system in the area, the risk to public health is immense.

Infrastructure Damage: Without protection, the hospital's buildings and critical systems could be destroyed, jeopardizing our ability to provide essential care.

building a wall

To address these challenges, we undertook the monumental task of building a retaining wall to act as a protective barrier between the hospital and the lake. This major construction project, completed by local contractors, has been a remarkable achievement for our small team.

The retaining wall now safeguards our existing infrastructure and ensures the safety of everyone who relies on our hospital. It also paves the way for future growth, particularly the construction of our much-needed maternity ward, which we are thrilled to begin after the rainy season ends in April/May.

We are immensely proud of this accomplishment and excited to see how this protective measure will positively impact our hospital and community.

Grateful for the Support

This project would not have been possible without the generosity of our supporters, and we extend a heartfelt thank you to Capital Drilling for their significant contribution to the cost and their continued support of our work. Your commitment to improving lives in our community is deeply appreciated.

ESG explained

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It's a set of criteria that investors and businesses use to evaluate a company's performance and impact on society and the environment.

Let's focus on the "S" aspect of ESG, which stands for "Social." This part looks at how a company interacts with people, both inside and outside the organization. It considers things like:

Employee treatment: How well does the company treat its employees? Do they provide fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for growth?

Diversity and inclusion: Is the company diverse in terms of race, gender, and other demographics? Do they promote inclusivity and equal opportunities?

Community impact: How does the company affect the communities where it operates? Do they contribute positively to society by supporting local initiatives and being a responsible corporate citizen?

Customer satisfaction: Does the company prioritize customer well-being and satisfaction? Do they offer quality products or services that meet the needs of their customers?

Supply chain ethics: Does the company ensure that its suppliers follow ethical practices and treat their employees and the environment responsibly?

ESG vs CSR

ESG is similar to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in that both aim to assess a company's impact on society. However, there are some key differences between the two:

Scope: ESG is a broader concept that considers environmental, social, and governance aspects of a company, while CSR primarily focuses on the company's social and environmental responsibilities.

Integration: ESG is often integrated into the core business strategy and decision-making processes of a company, while CSR may be seen as a separate set of initiatives or projects.

Reporting and Transparency: ESG reporting is becoming more standardized and mainstream, with companies disclosing their ESG practices to investors and stakeholders. CSR reporting can also be a part of ESG reporting, but it tends to be more voluntary and may vary in terms of metrics and disclosure.

Stakeholder Impact: ESG takes into account the interests of all stakeholders, including employees, communities, investors, and customers. CSR may have a narrower focus, mainly addressing social and environmental issues.

To sum up, you can say ESG is about evaluating a company's environmental, social, and governance practices, with a particular emphasis on how it treats people (the "S" aspect). While similar in some ways, ESG is a broader and more integrated approach compared to CSR, which often concentrates on specific social and environmental initiatives.

What does that have to do with you and me?

You see, we often partner with companies to deliver on their CSR goals. We have the expertise and the experience. We can deliver a far better impact for less money - that’s a good ROI (return on Investment), to stay with the lingo.

Does the company you work for us have an ESG plan or even penned out some CSR goals? If not, point them our way and we are happy to have a non-binding and free conversation.

Do you want to hear something interesting?

Then you should get our Founding Director and CEO, Nina Hjortlund, to speak at your event.

She is an experienced speaker delivering both personal stories and reflective insights with passion and wit.

Topics include:

CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE WIN

How to make CSR an equal working relationship drawing on the strengths and expertise of both parties resulting in better impact and sustainable results. What are the flaws and pitfalls with the current hand-out mentality for supporting local organisations?

WHY AFRICA MATTERS TO YOU

Creating sustainable economic growth throughout sub-Saharan Africa is vital for global stability. Growing population in need of jobs and quality of life has more impact on your day-to-day life than you think!

YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON INVESTING IN AFRICAN WOMEN

When we invest in African women it increases economic growth and development. When women are empowered they become powerful catalysts for economic development. Investing in African women reduces poverty, gender inequality, and social injustice leading to better global health and social outcomes.

WHY MUSHROOMS ARE THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

Growing mushrooms in Tanzania has given us a pathway to reduce poverty, provide better nutrition, create jobs, equality, health, climate change, sustainability, and long-term funding of other projects. Get the details of this inspiring and groundbreaking project stemming from a humble mushroom.

CSR explained

What does CSR mean?

CSR stands for Corporate Social Responsibility.

It is all about companies going the extra mile to do good things for society and the environment, even if they are not legally required to.

CSR is important to companies because it helps them show that they care about more than just making money. When companies take actions to address social and environmental issues, people tend to like them more. Customers, employees, investors, and others see these companies as responsible and trustworthy.

By being socially responsible, companies can build better relationships with their customers, employees, and the communities they operate in. It's like saying, "Hey, we're not just here to sell stuff, we genuinely want to make a positive difference in people's lives."

Being socially responsible also helps companies manage risks. They can anticipate and tackle problems like climate change, human rights issues, or changes in regulations, which can protect their business from potential harm.

Another important aspect is that CSR helps companies attract and keep talented employees. Nowadays, many people want to work for companies that align with their values and have a sense of purpose. So, if a company shows that it's committed to doing good, it becomes more appealing to potential employees and can keep its existing ones happy.

CSR also encourages companies to be innovative. By considering social and environmental factors, businesses can come up with new ideas, develop sustainable products and services, and stay ahead of the competition.

Finally, CSR is essential for the long-term survival of businesses and the planet. By taking actions that make the world a better place, companies contribute to a more fair and sustainable future. It's about looking beyond short-term profits and thinking about the well-being of future generations.

In a nutshell, CSR is about companies doing good things beyond what's legally required, and it's important because it helps them gain trust, manage risks, attract great employees, be innovative, and ensure a better future for everyone.

Does every company have a csr programme?

Not all companies have a formal CSR program in place. The adoption of CSR practices varies among companies and industries. While many large corporations have established dedicated CSR initiatives, smaller businesses or start-ups may not have formal programs but still engage in socially responsible activities on a smaller scale.

The decision to implement a CSR program depends on various factors such as the company's size, resources, industry, values, and stakeholders' expectations. Some companies may prioritize CSR as a fundamental part of their business strategy, while others may focus on different priorities or may not have fully recognized the importance of CSR.

However, it's worth noting that the concept of CSR and the awareness of its importance have been growing in recent years. Many businesses are recognizing that being socially responsible is not only beneficial for society but also advantageous for their reputation, customer loyalty, and long-term sustainability. As a result, more companies are integrating CSR principles into their operations, even if they don't have formal programs.

In some cases, companies may engage in specific CSR activities without having a comprehensive program. They may support local charities, participate in community events, implement environmentally friendly practices, or donate a portion of their profits to social causes. These individual actions can still contribute to CSR, even without a structured program.

Ultimately, the extent and formality of a company's CSR program depend on its unique circumstances and the importance it places on corporate social responsibility.

CSR vs Social Enterprise

CSR and social enterprise are related concepts but have distinct differences.

CSR is typically integrated into a company's operations and can cover various aspects such as ethical business practices, environmental sustainability, community engagement, and employee well-being. CSR is generally practiced by both for-profit and non-profit organizations, with the aim of aligning business activities with social and environmental goals.

On the other hand, a social enterprise is a specific type of business entity that operates with the primary goal of addressing a particular social or environmental problem. Social enterprises are profit-driven organizations, but their core purpose is to create positive social impact rather than maximizing financial returns for shareholders. These businesses use commercial strategies to tackle social issues, combining entrepreneurship with a mission to bring about social change. The profits generated by social enterprises are often reinvested into their social mission rather than being solely distributed to shareholders.

While CSR is an approach adopted by companies to demonstrate responsibility and contribute to society, social enterprises are businesses specifically designed to create social impact through their products, services, or business models. CSR can be part of a company's broader strategy, whereas social enterprise operates with a primary focus on social or environmental objectives and uses business as a means to achieve them.

In summary, CSR represents the responsible actions and initiatives undertaken by companies to address societal and environmental concerns, while a social enterprise is a business entity created with the explicit purpose of generating social impact alongside financial sustainability.

CSR and Australia for cedar tanzania

With so many concepts and acronyms, many of them overlapping, it is easy to get a just a little confused.

We can deliver CSR programmes for companies. We have the experience and expertise - just like you would outsource IT services or accounting to companies with that expertise.

Are you looking for a partner?

We are!

We believer partnering across sectors makes us all stronger. That’s why we seek out companies who really wants to get bang for their buck and make a difference in the world.

When a company partner with us on their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR or the ‘S’ in ESG) projects, they can focus on their core competencies and business activities. CSR projects often require a significant amount of time, resources, and expertise, which may not be available within the company. By outsourcing these projects to us (or other NGOs), companies can free up their internal resources and focus on what they do best.

Another benefit to cross-sector partnerships on CSR projects is access to expertise and experience - for both the company and the NGO.

We have a wealth of local knowledge and experience in the local area, in the culture, social issues and strengths, environmental problems and potential solutions, community development, and healthcare. By working with us, companies can tap into this expertise and leverage it to achieve their CSR goals.

We have established long-standing networks and relationships with local communities, which can be difficult for companies to build on their own. We can help companies gain access to these networks and build stronger relationships with stakeholders and communities.

Partnerships enhances company reputation and brand image. When a company engages in socially responsible activities, it can help improve its public image and reputation. We deliver regular reports ready to publicise, financial reports and a solid measurement of impact. That’s a pretty good ROI!

Overall, partnering on CSR projects is a win-win situation for both companies and NGOs. Companies achieve their CSR goals more effectively and efficiently while freeing up their internal resources, and NGOs can leverage their expertise and experience to make a positive impact in the communities they serve.

What do we offer you?

We assist you, and your company, to reach your ESG goals in an easy and impactful way. We have the experience and expertise to implement sustainable CSR projects on your behalf.

We create pathways for engagement and value alignment throughout the process. We make sure the project we work on together reflects your core values and beliefs.

We provide clearly defined targets and well-documented results. We deliver regular reports both on social impact and on financial measures.

What are you waiting for?

Best Innovation in Corporate Social Responsibility

Australia for Cedar Tanzania received a Highly Commended award for our mushroom project in Tanzania.

This award is part of Australia-Africa Minerals and Energy Group’s (AAMEG) yearly Africa Awards presented as part of the Africa Downunder (ADU) conference.

ADU is the largest mining conference with a focus on Africa held outside Africa, and AAMEG is the peak body representing Australian companies engaged in the development of Africa’s resource industry. 

What is Kilimu Bora | Smart Farming?

Kilimu Bora means Smart Farming in Swahili. All projects under this banner revolve around food security, entrepreneurship, gender equality, climate change, nutritional health, and the environment.

Our first Smart Farming project has been the establishment of mushroom farming. This includes mushroom growth, drying methods, business skills and export agreements.

Mushroom farming as a business is new in Tanzania, and we are one of the leading pioneers in the area.

Through this project we are addressing a range of social, economic, and environmental challenges. We provide skilled training for vulnerable groups such as young women and people with disabilities and their household members.

Participants are offered hands-on of training, in which they are taught both the agricultural and business aspects of operating and managing a mushroom farm. The training includes how to grow and harvest mushrooms, preparing substrate, drying and packaging, how to meet international sterilisation and hygiene standards, quality control, bookkeeping, environmental best practises and compliance, market navigation, and customer service. The participants also learn how to source organic substrate materials locally and how to store this for optimal produce production.

Our high-quality mushrooms can be sold both locally and internationally thanks to our innovative custom-built driers, not using electricity but only the heat from the sun and a clever use of the airflow.

During the selection of participants priority was given to young women and to people with disabilities or their household members.

Gender inequality is prevalent in Tanzania and starts for girls already at a very young age when they often are deprived of the chance of an education in favour of their brothers. Without a good education, many girls and young women will remain both financially and emotionally dependent on parents, partners, or husbands. People with disabilities bear the double burden of poverty and exclusion due to financial, social, and environmental barriers coupled with a high degree of stigma present across Tanzania.

Why Mushrooms? 

90% of the Tanzanian population of 60 million people are living on less than $5.00 PPP. 49% is surviving on less $1.90 PPP per day – the international definition of severe poverty. Of these, the vast majority, 80%, are living in rural areas such as the Nyamatongo Ward.

Choosing mushrooms as the vehicle for agri-business is beneficial for several reasons:

No Land Required

Mushrooms are grown in buckets and indoors, and hence easier allow women and disabled people to become equal participants in their family’s and community’s economic life.

Research shows that fewer women and people with disabilities own land, and that they do not have equal access to manual labour.

Year-Round Crop, Independent of Rainfall

Through careful selection of species and growing conditions, mushrooms can be grown year-round regardless of change in rain patterns.

Climate change has shown irregularities to rainfall in the region with current draught and famine in the Horn of Africa. More specifically, the Mwanza region has experienced persistent irregular rainfall over the last number of years, which can have extensively harmful effects on local agriculture.

Minimal Initial Investment

This allows for economic opportunity even for women and people with disabilitiess with minimal control of their family finances.

Our project encourages collaborative farming and includes financial support and training during the initial set-up period.

Fast Return on Investment

The mushroom growth cycle can be as short as 8-10 weeks, allowing farmers to see profit extremely quickly.

This is important for the ability to establish income and re-investment in next growth cycle.

Not Labour Intensive

Mushrooms can easily be grown by any member of the household without the need to hire additional help. One of the main barriers seen to extensive farming is access to labour and machinery.

No Educational Background Required

After a relatively short training period, participants are ready to begin cultivating mushrooms.

We embrace a hands-on learning process which allows participants to gain the necessary skills no matter previous level of schooling and their academic capabilities.

High Nutritional Value

Mushrooms are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals and provide an excellent nutritional boost in areas that suffer from malnutrition such as the communities in which we are working.

Community Benefits

We encourage all our participants to establish collaborative farms servicing the local community. Collaborative farming minimises investment costs for the participants including cost to transport bio waste, initial purchases of buckets and tools, and a cost-effective solution to house the farm.

A collaborative farm has other advantages too: the strength of the shared knowledge and the ability to support each other in farming duties. This increases the success rate of the farm as well as enhances the quality of the produce.

By giving a preference to women and people with disabilities and their household members we are ensuring the initiative is supporting the most vulnerable groups within the community. Through research, it has been proven that when women are being supported in taking up income generating activities, the financial outcome is then reinvested for the benefit of the entire household i.e., invested in children’s education and health or in long-term and sustainable investments in collective living standards.

Having an increased production of fresh mushrooms will benefit the entire community of more than 35,000 people through access to an additional and affordable crop with high nutritional value.

Stunted growth and development are caused by a combination of malnutrition, prolonged and repeated infections, and untreated worms and parasites. This is common sight as it affects 38% of children under 5 years old in rural Tanzania. Supplementing their diets with oyster mushrooms will assist in combatting stunted growth in children.

 Sustainability

Responsible Cyclic Agriculture and Prevents the Burning of Agricultural Waste

Our mushrooms are grown on agricultural waste, saving expenses, and preventing the common practice of burning waste.

Avoiding burning of agricultural waste ties in with climate change best practises.

No Pesticides or Fertiliser Required

This both saves on expenses while also ensuring no chemical runoff or harmful agricultural practices. Spent substrates can be reused or sold as fertilizer after the mushroom growth is complete.

With the current hike in fertiliser price and scarce availability this makes mushroom farming a very appealing and cost-effective crop. In addition, in rural areas women are often at a significant disadvantage in regard to purchasing quality fertiliser, since access to such products are often prioritized towards male farmers.

Long-Term Financial Growth Potential

There are several ways a farm could expand: Entrepreneurs can expand into more exotic, high-value mushroom strands as their financial stability increases. Alternatively, there is a growing market for medicinal mushrooms.

Further several niche products are being produced such as mushroom leather, mushroom bricks, or to dispose of oil spills and non-degradable waste products.

Part of our long-term project plan is to provide a safety-net option to purchase any surplus production which will be dried and exported as wholesale to the international market.

High Demand on the International Market

Dried mushrooms have a one-year shelf life and can be sold internationally to a wide range of customers. This includes both B2B and B2C customers, wholesaling, distribution, and to businesses for further processing.

We currently have buyers in Singapore and in East Africa for distribution in Europe and in the USA.

Financial Sustainability after Seed-Funding

After initial central set-up and establishment of first round of collaborative farms the project is financially sustainable with income generated from export of central production as well as surplus production from the collaborative farms.

As a not-for-profit, any financial surplus will be re-invested into further strengthening and expansion of the mushroom project or into our healthcare services.

Furthermore, interest has already been shown from international impact investing companies for further scaling and expansion.

Scalability to other areas

Long-term plans include scaling this project to other areas outside of Nyamatongo Ward. Interest for our project has been shown by organisations working in the refugee camps in the Kigoma area housing approximately 250,000 residents.

Additionally, a potential collaboration with companies working with other dried fruit and vegetables could be imagined. Also in this area, interest has been shown from potential partner companies.

What now?

Currently we are actively seeking seed funding for a year-long upscaling after which the project is financially sustainable.

Our goals include creating a permanent production and ongoing teaching centre at our Community Centre. In the first year we are aiming to have successfully trained 200 residents in mushroom farming. We will deliver ongoing support to new farms and provide teaching in business skills and banking.

Wellbeing and nutritional health will improve throughout the area for all its residents. There will be a steady supply of highly nutritious locally sourced produce and indirectly an increase in household income. It will also strengthen women and people with disabilities position in their communities. 

Through an upscaled project we will also be able to safety-net newly established mushroom farms against loss from over-production by setting up procedures to approve and test each farm is in alignment with international requirements allowing their produce to be used for export.

You can of course help us get a head start towards our ambitious AUD $150,000 goal by clicking on the big green button to donate. Even $20 gets us towards this goal.

Bamboo to the Rescue

It’s raining and muddy and you could almost use a canoe to get to the hospital entrance. The rainy season is seems endless this year and the lake has risen to unseen levels. We are struggling with more than just COVID-19.

As everywhere else in the world, Tanzania has enforced restrictions on social gatherings and is encouraging social distancing as well as good hand hygiene. Research is showing that most African countries are about one month behind Europe when it comes to the spread of the Coronavirus.

As we continue to provide lifesaving services to the population of Nyamatongo Ward in the North-Western Tanzania, we are faced with the urgent need to provide our staff with surgical masks and other relevant Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 

The 30,000 people we serve have no other health facility in the area and no other place to give birth, be treated for malaria, get medicine for an infection or to take their children when sick.

Bamboo Rock Drilling came to our rescue and has ensured the purchase of 500 surgical masks and a full set of Personal Protective Equipment. This means we can continue to provide safe and secure medical services to the more than 1,200 patients we treat every month.

Bamboo Rock Drilling is one of our long-standing partners who regularly provides valuable support to Cedar Tanzania’s work.

Australia for Cedar Tanzania, Cedar Tanzania, and the people of Nyamatongo Ward are immensely grateful for the continued kindness and support provided by Bamboo Rock Drilling.

Thank you!

"Bamboo Rock Drilling Group operates throughout the African continent and is focused on empowering local stakeholders. By creating a network of locally registered businesses, engaging with key local selected partners and backed by our years of experience and wealth of knowledge in the sector, we are perfectly equipped for your every mining and exploration drilling need."
