Background
Art in Tanzania is a Tanzanian NGO, also registered in Finland, arranging vocational training, school teaching, orphan education and women projects in towns and villages in Tanzania. We have Finnish and expatriate members working together with numerous small local Tanzanian NGO-s, schools, women groups and other small entities. We arrange short and long-term voluntary work in various areas as teaching English, computing and internet use, health issues (HIV, malaria), women issues, arts and handicrafts, music, sports and environmental and conservation projects.

We operate at Dar es Salaam, Moshi, Arusha, Masai land and Zanzibar. We have some 100 volunteers in the country all the time and some 60 people own permanent staff to run the projects and to assist the volunteers.

We finance our operations by attendance fees and arranging safari and other adventure programs for the visiting volunteers.

Our Objectives
Our main objective is to enhance the livelihood of the rural villages, orphans, women and tribal people as the Masai tribe. We also perform environmental projects as introducing fire bricks made of waste materials to avoid forest cutting for charcoal. We operate in grass root level so the work is easy to attend to all volunteers. We finance our operations with the small profits from the attending volunteers as well as from our other financial resources as from meaningful safaris.

We provide adventure packages for the attending volunteers as wild life safaris, coral island sailing trips, climbing Kilimanjaro, visit to Zanzibar and other adventures. Many visiting volunteers want to encounter the beautiful Tanzanian nature. These adventure operations assist us financially to run the community work projects.
