history
GCDE was established in 2007 as a civil society organization with
registration number SO 14899 and holds a certificate of compliance NO.
0876 as a nationwide NGO in Tanzania. GCDE is currently focused in the
Western Highlands Zone in the regions of Iringa, Mbeya, Rukwa and Katavi
with its office located in Sumbawanga. GCDE is striving to be a change
agent in rural communities to improve the standard of life through
addressing business and sustainable agriculture training. GCDE
identifies real needs and works with local people to develop local resources
with sustainable impact.
While there has been improvement, Tanzania is still one of the poorest
countries in the world with 36% of the population living below the national
poverty line. Eighty percent of employment is in the agricultural sector with
a majority of that being small scale subsistence farming.
A great challenge in Tanzania and other developing nations is the issue of
real unemployment. Where GCDE addresses community needs by
providing business and agricultural training, self-employment increases.
People with an applicable knowledge of business and sustainable
agriculture have an improved standard of living that includes adequate food,
clothing, housing, and medical care. This can bestow health and wellbeing
to individuals and families.
