TNRF-related

The Maajabu filming crew will join their colleagues at a training by Community based Biodiversity Conservation Films (CBCF). Maajabu takes part in a 2-year long programme of training in video production about biodiversity for communities, funded by the Darwin Initiative. For more about CBCF, please visit: www.conservationfilms.org.

Maajabu Films is teaming up with VetAgro (TZ) and GALVmed (UK) to produce a film to promote the vaccination of East Coast Fever, a disease that hits pastoralist cattle hard in Tanzania. Studies about the vaccine show that it greatly increases the survival rate of the livestock, and in turn, improves the livelihoods of the livestock keepers. Vaccinated cattle are able to graze in areas that were formerly restricted due to the prevalence of ECF-carrying ticks.

Maajabu's mobile cinema will join the Mtakuja community development project in West Kilimanjaro to show films at schools and village centers.
