Arusha Children’s Trust: Our very own project here in Arusha!
The guiding principle of the charity is to develop a sustainable way. Karama Lodge and Spa as well as Tropical Trails which operates in the Arusha and Rift Valley regions helps children without creating a dependence on tourism revenue or diluting the cultural heritage of rural communities.
In 1997, during a trek operated by Tropical Trails on behalf of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), participants recognized the need for a project that would directly assist rural communities, primarily children, by improving access to education and health programs, increasing the awareness of environmental issues and preserving culture and tradition. It was for this purpose that the Arusha Children’s Trust was created.
The Arusha Children’s Trust actively and directly supports the children in the Arusha and Rift Valley regions of Tanzania through enhancing education, improving health awareness, increasing knowledge of environmental conservation and upholding the traditions and culture of people within the region.
You can take a day trip to the trust for a very nominal transfer fee to see what we are up to! It is a lovely visit and the children are always thrilled to meet new people and show them what they are working on!
