This project aimes at building community resilience for Maasai communities in Longido District. The project “Participatory and inclusive planning and implementation: A capacity enhancement approach for community resilience and sustainable development in western Kilimanjaro-Lake Natron ecosystem” is intended to enhance capacities of the smallholder farmers and pastoralists so that they become resilient to impacts of climate change and variability.  In this UNDP funded project we cooperate with the villagers on rehabilitating their only water spring, which is serving more than 4500
