More about STP
Save the Planet / STP- Njombe
Save the Planet (StP) is a bold, community-powered environmental NGO headquartered in Njombe – Iringa, Tanzania.
We believe that meaningful climate action starts at the grassroots—by empowering everyday people with knowledge, tools, and the chance to lead.
Founded by Emanuel Mwampamba, StP was born from a simple but powerful idea: that if we invest in communities—especially youth and women—we can build a future where both people and planet thrive.
We’re Here to Support Vulnerable Communities
Support grassroots climate initiatives and education programs that create lasting environmental change.
Our Vision
A climate-smart Tanzania where communities lead sustainable change from the grassroots to the globe.
Our Mission
To protect nature and empower people—especially youth and women—to actively combat climate change through education, reforestation, clean water access, sustainable agriculture, and zero-waste practices.

Our Core Pillars
🌳 Reforestation & Ecosystem Restoration
We plant trees, nurture native forests, and protect Njombe’s rich biodiversity through school programs, community nurseries, and conservation education.
We restore springs, harvest rainwater, and teach hygiene to ensure every village in Njombe has safe and reliable water.
🧑🏽🌾 Climate-Smart Agriculture
We train farmers in sustainable methods, promoting soil health, agroforestry, and organic practices that build food security.
We run climate clubs, debates, and workshops in schools to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders.
We promote recycling, composting, and the reduction of single-use plastics—starting from homes to entire communities.
We uplift women and youth as eco-leaders, entrepreneurs, and change agents through leadership development and livelihood support.

“I never imagined my small farm could feed more than just my family. StP trained me in sustainable farming, and now I even supply local markets. Climate change used to scare me—now I’m part of the solution.”
Mama Riziki
Farmer & Climate Champion, Njombe
“Through StP’s school program, I planted my first tree and now lead our climate club. I’ve found my voice, and I teach others about the environment every week.”
Amani
Student Leader, Njombe Secondary School
“Thanks to StP, our women’s group learned how to recycle plastic waste into sellable crafts. We’re earning income and keeping our village clean at the same time.”
