SOCIAL PROGRAMS IN TANZANIA
Empowering communities and promoting sustainable tourism with TanzaniGo Travels and Tours.
We are deeply committed to creating meaningful and sustainable social impact through various community-driven initiatives. We believe that tourism should not only be an enriching experience for travelers but also a powerful force for good in the communities we engage with.
Our focus is on sustainable tourism, community empowerment, and environmental conservation to ensure that our efforts contribute to long-lasting positive change.
SOME OF OUR KEY SOCIAL IMPACT PROGRAMS
EMPOWERING MAASAI GIRLS: EDUCATION, HEALTH AND PROTECTION INITIATIVES
We are passionately dedicated to rescuing and empowering young Maasai girls who face significant challenges, including early marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), and limited access to quality education. Our goal is to establish safe rescue centers in Longido, Simanjiro, and Monduli districts of Arusha, where these girls can find shelter, support, and a chance for a brighter future.
These centers will provide:
EDUCATION AND TRAINING: We aim to pay for school fees, provide nutritious meals, and ensure a safe learning environment. Additionally, we are committed to building schools specifically for Maasai girls and establishing vocational training centers for those unable to continue formal education. These centers will offer courses in tailoring, hairdressing, entrepreneurship, and business management, equipping girls with the skills needed to thrive.
HEALTH SERVICE: In partnership with local and international development partners, we plan to offer health support, including the construction of health centers, provision of medical supplies, and promotion of safe maternal health practices.
SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
We are focused on promoting sustainable environmental practices that directly benefit local communities, particularly women and youth. Our approach includes:
CREATING MODERN HORTICULTURE GARDENS: We will form community groups consisting of women and youth to establish modern horticulture gardens with efficient irrigation schemes. The project will provide access to extension officers, high-quality seeds, and fertilizers, fostering sustainable agricultural practices.
SCHOOL GARDENS AND FRUIT TREES PLANTING: In primary and secondary schools, we aim to develop gardens and plant fruit trees like papaya and avocado. This initiative promotes environmental conservation, improves nutrition, and generates income. The funds from selling these fruits will support students from underprivileged families and sustain these gardens.
HEALTH CENTER SUPPORT: We will establish vegetable gardens and plant fruit trees around small and medium-sized health centers. The revenue generated will provide emergency support for patients who cannot afford medical expenses, particularly pregnant women and newborns.
YOUTH AND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN THE TOURISM SECTOR
To promote sustainable tourism and address youth unemployment, we aim to empower young people, particularly women, within local communities through specialized training programs, including:
TOUR GUIDING AND HOTEL MANAGEMENT TRAINING: We will provide training in essential skills such as tour guiding, hotel management, culinary arts, and hospitality management. This initiative aims to prepare young people for employment in the tourism sector, including hotels, lodges, and campsites across Tanzania.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUPPORT: For those with entrepreneurial ambitions, we will support their efforts to establish tourism-related businesses and services, both locally and internationally.
