Key partners:
KSDI - Karatu Sustainable Development Initiatives
KSDI is a registered Tanzanian non-governmental and non-profit organization based in Karatu, Arusha Region. Since 2016, KSDI has managed the Agricultural Resource Centre in Endamarariek Ward in partnership with Karatu District Council and has become a key operational partner of JSFoundation across Endamarariek and Qurus Wards.
KSDI is led by Hon. Prof. John Mahu, Executive Chairman, and a partner of JSFoundation since 2016. KSDI's responsibilities span coaching and training of women's groups, day-to-day management of local and central processing units, quality control of production, and maintenance of JSF-funded equipment.
Over the years, our collaboration has grown from sustainable farming and processing into a broader community-based partnership. This long-term cooperation is formalized through successive Memoranda of Understanding.
TA - Tunza Africa
Tunza Africa (TA) is a registered Tanzanian non-governmental organization working across Karatu District. The organization is led locally by Clement Kingo, who has worked closely with JSFoundation since December 2016 and plays a central role in coordinating our agricultural, school, and community-based programs.
Together with JSFoundation and KSDI, Tunza Africa supports small-scale farmers, women’s groups, and schools through hands-on training, farmer coaching, food forests and school gardens, demonstration plots, tree planting, nurseries, and the distribution of seeds and seedlings. A strong focus is placed on sustainable agriculture and nutritious crops such as Moringa oleifera, connecting farming with nutrition, education, and local opportunity.
Formally launched locally in 2023, Tunza Africa represents an important step toward strengthening local ownership and institutional capacity. Its demonstration sites in Bassodawish and Endamarariek provide practical spaces for learning and farmer coaching, helping knowledge and sustainable practices take root and grow within the communities themselves.
