Since 2009, TISER has worked alongside Tanzania's most marginalized communities — building peace, defending rights, protecting the environment and unlocking economic opportunity.
TISER began in 2009 as a group of volunteer graduates — community development officers, sociologists, accountants, environmental engineers, economists, lawyers and nurses — united by one aim: to stand with rural Tanzanian communities on the issues that shape their lives. In 2012 we became a fully registered NGO under the United Republic of Tanzania. Today we design and deliver projects in partnership with communities, local government, municipalities, ministries, districts, and local and international organizations.

“Before TISER came, conflict between our farmers and the pastoralists was constant. The awareness meetings and dialogue changed how we live side by side.”
