Join us for a sparkling conversation that dives into land rights, women's rights and sustainability in Tanzania, with the hugely inspiring Payne Mako from the Ashden Award-winning Ujamaa Community Resource Team (UCRT). 

Her journey encompasses the profound challenges faced by communities in northern Tanzania, battling the impacts of climate change while striving for justice and equity. We talk about the vital role of collective ownership as a key driver toward positive change and how Payne's advocacy for land rights promotes resilience against environmental degradation.

We get some insights into the unique ecosystem of northern Tanzania, where the livelihoods of pastoralists and hunter-gatherers are intricately tied to the land. Our talk also highlights the ongoing efforts to empower women in traditionally patriarchal societies, showcasing how UCRT’s initiatives spark transformational change and foster a culture of dialogue and equality.
