Daraja Music Initiative

Daraja Music Initiative (DMI) is an interdisciplinary program that bridges music education and conservation education. By providing an approach to
sustainability through music education, DMI promotes conservation of the mpingo tree (commonly referred to as African Blackwood or Grenadilla),
by actively engaging students and the community with the power of music.
Teaching music to students in Tanzania helps empower them by improving problem-solving skills, facilitating self-sufficiency, and providing a healthy, creative outlet. And by doing tree plantings throughout the local community,
DMI is helping conservation efforts of the mpingo tree, as well as educating
the community at large about fostering a sincere desire for a sustainable future.
