I have been involved with the Mangrove Action Project (MAP) since it was founded over two decades ago. Although MAP is a small organization with limited funding, MAP has certainly had a considerable impact on the issues that it has engaged with. If it had more funding, it would have been able to do much more. It never wastes money, and its director has proven to be very ethical. He pays himself very little, and he never puts himself first. MAP has had much more influence than its funding would indicate. Money donated to MAP is certainly money well spent. Nothing is wasted. In addition, MAP has concentrated on pushing the right causes. It has not only been on the side of environmental protection. It has also been on the side of local people living in mangrove areas, and this is crucial. It is on the side of the disadvantaged small-scale fishers. It is a friend of small organizations on the ground around the world. It has always fought for equality and fairness. The only problem has been its limited financial resources. It hasn't sold out, and MAP definitely deserves out support.
My name is Gumbo Majubwa and I am the founder and Director of the ambakofi organization. ambakofi www.ambakofi.rg is NGO registered in Tanzania. In 2019 and 2022 I was lucky to be selected to attend Community Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration -CBEMR training. The Mangrove Action Project MAP organization conducted this training for about 7 days each year I attend. Today I train CBEMR fellow Tanzanians. Without MAP I could not be able to have this knowledge and skills. MAP's CBEMR knowledge cause a great impact on people and the environment in Tanzania's Coastal villages.
