PROJECT OIKOS
Oikos East Africa is a Tanzanian NGO, founded in 1999 and based in Arusha. OIKOS aims to promote the protection of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources as tools to fight against poverty and boost socio-economic development.
The principle behind OIKOS’ work is that sound environmental conservation strategies can guarantee health and wellness to current and future generations, increase the economic independence of vulnerable communities and tackle climate change.
Quote Nancy Bosch, Communication Advisor Achmea Insurance Group:
“…It was a tremendous experience and unique opportunity to work together with the energetic team of OIKOS East Africa. I hope I have been able to deliver a contribution to OIKOS’ excellent work in promoting the protection of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources as tools to fight against poverty and boost socio-economic development. I will never forget my two weeks in Arusha and surroundings. The way of how Tanzanian people live in “the present”, the positive and optimistic way of looking at things and the warmth of the people were an unforgettable experience. And on top of that realizing certain targets on Communication-topics was a great inter cultural challenge…”
