Friends of Youth Future was founded in 2020 with a mission of motivate youth-at-risk to become productive and responsible young men by providing quality vocational education, entrepreneurship and life skills training. In line with our mission we protect and preserve Tanzania’s rich biodiversity while uplifting local communities. Our journey began with a shared love for nature witnessed the alarming decline of wildlife and the struggles faced by local communities that depend on these ecosystems for their livelihoods.

With a focus on sustainable development, we engage in wildlife monitoring, anti-poaching activities, Conservation education and provide Livelihood to the surrounding communities to safeguard critical ecosystems. Our team, comprised of dedicated Staff, Donors, local community leaders, and enthusiastic volunteers, collaborates closely with local communities and stakeholders to implement effective conservation strategies that also promote community upliftment

Through our initiatives, we have achieved significant reductions in poaching rates and established education programs that have reached over 5,000 children in rural areas. We successfully helped create community conservancies that empower locals to protect their natural resources while benefiting economically.

Expansion of educational programs, enhance community participation in conservation, and develop sustainable eco-tourism opportunities that provide a stable income for local families. We believe that education, collaboration, and community empowerment are vital for creating a sustainable future where both wildlife and people thrive together.
