Who We Are

A grassroots non-profit rooted in the Kilimanjaro Region

Livelihoods and Nature Solutions (LNS) is a grassroots non-profit organization based in the Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania.

Founded in 2024, LNS grew from local initiatives focused on education and environmental restoration. Today, we partner with schools, local communities, and international NGOs to design and deliver projects that are practical, transparent, and long-lasting.

We see development as a shared process — one that begins with local voices and grows through collaboration.
