In regard to poverty, many ask why many African countries remain under developed considering that Africa has some of the most lucrative natural resources world wide. "Why don't the African people just take matters in their own hands and get out of poverty?" These are questions that I hope will be answered for you in your visit to Tanzania.
However, there is a new wave of Africans working toward creating better opportunities for their people. On this trip, we will meet people who are excited about working to help Africans become more prosperous. I would love for you to meet our Tanzania connection and your new friends:
