safari and other tourism operations. We are developing a NGO business model to
streamline revenue back into communities.

believe that most of the value in our
internships come from the hands on
experience and opportunities, we
offer both paid and non-paid
internships. As we are an NGO, our
paid internships are in accordance
with the Tanzanian minimum salary.
However, to offset the low minimum
wage of a developing country, we
use what resources we have to offer
low housing expenses. Interns are working in a team of international and Tanzanian
multi professional intern teams. We encourage innovation in the program approach.

mothers in the villages that have little or no
education and are without financial
support. Additionally, areas are often
heavily populated, which complicates the
strive of livelihood and provision for these
Mother’s children. Most of these women
lack the opportunity to reach education or
means to fund and develop small
businesses. Additionally, many of these
women are under-empowered or unaware
of their basic human rights, thus making
young mothers vulnerable for abuse.

for women to start their own small
businesses and to create markets to their products. At the same time we educate
women rights and related subjects so that women will learn their rights in problem
situations. We focus to be both innovative and effective.

program approach.

horticulture and one can look for the markets. The base effort is to increase the small
business skills through educational approach and to increase awareness. We also focus

population.
