💥 KISHADE FORUM and what transpired during the 12th Tanzania Health Summit! 💥

The burning question was: Can trees protect our farmers from extreme heat? Yes, they can—and researchers had the data!

The Evidence is In 🌡️
WHO's Dr. Ivanov issued the global warning: Heat stress is an occupational health threat.

LEAD Foundation's Dr. Chiwanga unveiled the proof: The KISHADE project uses biometric sensors to directly link heat exposure to serious health risks for farmers.

The forum was driven by the farmers themselves! They shared real-life heat challenges and how Kisiki Hai solutions are leading to healthier lives.

Policy & Progress 🌳
This was a fierce call to action: connecting hard science to actionable policy. Experts and policymakers discussed integrating climate data and change into Tanzania's health policies.

The takeaway: The power of citizen science—combining biometric data with the farmers' lived experience—is creating scalable solutions. Collaboration is key!

This research builds on LEAD Foundation's incredible work, which has already helped restore 30 MILLION trees 🌳! The KISHADE data proves that investing in nature saves lives.
