ECHO East Africa Impact Center

Our East Africa Impact Center, located in Arusha, Tanzania, was established to support one of the world’s fastest-growing populations and fight the food scarcity they face on a daily basis.

Over the past decade, East Africa’s population has grown rapidly and is expected to increase 150% by 2050. Along with this, food scarcity has grown as well. Food production has been on a decline over the past 40 years and nearly 40% of the region’s children are malnourished. Agricultural development in East Africa is greatly needed.

The majority of East Africa’s families live in rural areas on a subsistence lifestyle. Because of this, agricultural training represents the most viable way to create a better future for millions of Africans. 

By emphasizing regenerative, environmentally friendly practices, we’re helping to change the literal and figurative landscape so families can thrive.
