CONSERVATION EDUCATION
PROBLEM
National park entry fees in Tanzania are financially out of reach for many local citizens. As a result, many Tanzanians have not visited their national parks and are unaware of the wildlife and natural resources protected within their own country. Even women who are aware of their country's parks and tourism industry encounter barriers to finding employment as safari guides. There are only six women safari guides in Tanzania, including Maggie Duncan Simbeye, founder of the Dare Women's Foundation.
HOW WE HELP
The Dare Women's Foundation takes women and children on safaris, which they otherwise could not afford. When they learn about their environment, they can share what they've learned and seen with friends and family members, increasing awareness and appreciation within their communities.
Resource conservation is part of every Dare project, from creating reusable sanitary pads and organic gardens to re-purposing discarded bags as rugs.
