KISHADE (Kisiki Hai Sustainable Heat Adaptation Development)

Outdoor agricultural workers in Tanzania, who make up 70% of the workforce, face significant health risks from extreme heat exposure, including dehydration, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular strain. These risks are exacerbated by the lack of shade and cooling measures in agricultural landscapes, making heat stress a pressing public health and economic challenge. This study is the most comprehensive effort to date to evaluate the role of trees in croplands in reducing heat stress for agricultural workers. The project will build on the LEAD Foundation’s restoration efforts, which have already supported local farmers in regenerating nine million native trees. By studying how trees affect microclimates, the project aims to provide critical evidence for the health and productivity benefits of agroforestry in rural Tanzania.
