Tanzanian communities are lacking economic strength to implement environmentally friendly solutions in their households.
Presently less than 50% of the households have a toilet. Interns are developing sustainable and affordable solutions including a dry toilet for households and schools.
Other green work includes developing composts, sustainable sources for cooking heat, development of tree and bamboo nurseries as well as neighborhood education and advocacy. A local source of funding and sustainability for Art in Tanzania are wildlife safari and other tourism operations. We are developing an NGO business model to streamline revenue back into communities.
