Create Real Stories From Farmers

"When the Rain Forgot Us" — Mzee Salum, Seaweed Farmer, Paje

"I used to harvest seaweed every month. Now, the ocean is too hot and the rains are strange. The seaweed dies before it grows."
Voice: "Climate change is not coming. It is here, in our oceans, in our empty nets. Let’s protect our coastlines, plant mangroves, and respect our tides."

Message: Ocean warming, seaweed farming decline, call to climate action.

"The Sun Stole My Harvest" — Asha, Rice Farmer, Cheju

"Our fields used to be green. Now the sun burns the soil. My children wait for food that doesn’t come."
Voice: "The climate is changing, and so must we. Let’s conserve water, use shade farming, and revive our soil with local knowledge."

Message: Drought and heat impact on crops, resilience through community farming.

"Our Cows Are Thirsty Too" — Juma, Livestock Keeper, Kizimbani

"Even the goats are thinner now. The grass dies too soon. We walk farther for water."
Voice: "The land speaks to us. Climate change is not just science—it’s our hungry cattle and dry wells. Let’s act: plant trees, protect springs, and harvest rain."

Message: Water scarcity and pasture degradation, eco-friendly livestock practices.

"My Coconut Trees Fell Silent" — Bi Amina, Coconut Farmer, Matemwe

"The coconuts don’t fall like they used to. The wind is stronger, but the harvest weaker."
Voice: "Storms now speak louder than seasons. Let’s strengthen our land with nature: agroforestry, community nurseries, and traditional wisdom."

Message: Storm intensity, loss of predictable harvests, resilience through reforestation.

"For My Son’s Tomorrow" — Ali, Young Farmer, Bambi

"My baba farmed this land. I want my son to do the same. But the seasons lie now."
Voice: "We are the generation of action. Let’s compost, conserve, and campaign for a greener Zanzibar. For our children’s tomorrow."

Message: Intergenerational urgency, solutions through youth-led sustainable farming.
