Who We Are?
KAENGESA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION SOCIETY (KAESO) is an NGO based in Rukwa region which has been at the forefront on environmental conservation and Community development. KAESO was Established on 12th March 1992 and registered under the laws of Tanzania on 14th June 1994 with registration No. S.O 8192 and obtained a certificate of compliance No 1785 on 21st May 2007. As a tax payer the TIN No. is 102-072-286.
KAESO is the Organization dealing with Environmental Conservation and community development in Tanzania. Since 1992 KAESO have been engaging in Tree planting, Protection of natural forestry, Water catchments, Land management, Agro-forestry and land rights advocacy, address Agricultural challenges, improve food security and Controlling of soil erosion through making use of Vetiver grass. By that time the organization was doing different social activities through donor funds, communities fund accumulation, membership contribution and internal source. This decision was based on KAESO’s proven ability to work with a variety of actors and develop viable and relevant interventions.
KAESO has the ability to spearhead different development activities due to its strong management and systems; its experience that has gained for over 20 years of its existence has been a pivot in pliability with existing working environments. In order for KAESO to deliver its services consistently and at a reasonable time, it was decided to be equipped with its own strong infrastructures, KAESO started to invest in land and now owns a 370 acres forest as a security property and in which it uses it as a pedagogic center for Agriculture, Climate change and Agroforestry. Also bought its own building and vehicles to trim down rent costs in the future, and this mission did not substitute a direct service provision to the community.
