Some of East Africa’s most traditional pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities are currently at great risk of loosing their land and resources due to progressive land encroachment and lack of representation in modern Tanzania.

UCRT works to empower marginalised people in the rangelands of northern Tanzania to secure rights to their natural resources and land.

UCRT helps these communities by representing their land rights, advocating on their behalf to local and national government, and  securing legal ownership of their traditional lands.

We also help empower these communities to independently and effectively manage their land and resources, and to improve education, women’s protection and advocacy, as well as their leadership and representation among the wider Tanzanian community.
