Tourism With Purpose
Tourism brings visitors to Arusha every day. Here is how a trip can also support the children who live here.
Why tourism matters
Making sure the benefits stay local
Tourism is one of Tanzania's most important industries, and Arusha is where most northern safaris and Kilimanjaro climbs begin. Visitors spend money on lodges, vehicles, guides and park fees, but much less of it reaches the children in the communities around them.
We think every trip can do some good close to home.
How it works
From your booking to a child in Arusha
You travel
Book a safari, Kilimanjaro climb or Zanzibar holiday with Lappet Faced Safaris.
10% is set aside
Lappet Faced Safaris gives 10% of every package to local communities.
Children are supported
That money goes towards children's healthcare and schooling here in Arusha.
For travellers
Ways to help while you travel
-
Choose your operator carefully
Travel with companies that put money back into local communities.
-
Give through us, not on the roadside
Gifts given directly to children can encourage them to miss school. Give through an organisation that knows the families.
-
Ask before you take photos
Always ask an adult’s permission before photographing children.
