CSR & Sustainable Tourism possibilities in Tanzania and Kanya

CSR & Sustainable Tourism possibilities in Tanzania and Kanya

Green Inspirations DMC: Is a Destination Resources Management Company. We believe in the continuous evolution toward perfection and the need for active sustainability for saving our world. With this scope in mind and in line with Euromic’s objectives, our staff began reflecting on how we could positively contribute to Euromic’s  sustainability policy  by impacting the local community.  Gren Inspirations decided to reach out and lend a hand to an Orphanage Centre in Mererani, Manyara Region, Shimanjiru District. The Destitute home - going in the name of A Light in Africa, was pioneered by Mama Lynn 20-yrs ago.  The Orphanage has a total of 148 Children and young stars aged from 6 months to 16 years all housed in 5 homes. 44 children (including infants) have 100% disability of various forms and are permanently in wheelchairs.

Our staff under the leadership of our CEO Mr Gadi Mbuya, gathered at our office for loading the gifts we were taking to Light in Africa. Our Convoy had 5 4WD Safari vehicles and 1 Luggage Truck for carrying presents. We drove 90 kilometers Northeastern of Arusha Town. On arrival at Light in Africa at around 10:00 am, we were greeted by the  Chairman of the Centre with his team! They took their time to brief us about the orphanage. We offloaded the luggage truck and handed out our various gifts. Mattresses, spreads, blankets, pillows, food, refreshments, toys, candies etc.

After this, we split into two teams, one for preparing food for everyone and the second team for visiting the rest of the houses, playing, singing, and dancing with the kids. Among the gifts we provided were footballs and other playing items, which were so exciting to the kids. After visiting all the houses, all 148 kids gathered at one house for lunch. We hand-fed those disabled and served the rest!

We spent about 8 hours at the orphanage. Playing, singing and storytelling with the kids. It was a very emotional day making us think about the misfortunate ones and motivating our team to continue our benevolent actions to fight inequality in the future. We thank the Chairman of the Orphanage and the staff for their welcome and the help they gave us. We will come back soon…

Similar sustainability and CSR actions can also be created for Corporate accounts that want to help the local population to have a better life by improving living conditions with small CSR actions.
