In Tanzania, Masai women are economically weak. Though Masai culture is one of the major attractions of tourism industry in Tanzania, Masai people are not benefiting from the tourism industry. A local NGO ILKDNGA is presently running different programs to uplift the economic condition of Masai women trained to make traditional Masai crafts, beads, clothes, handicrafts, and other goods, to generate income by selling them in the market to tourists. Currently, Rustic Volunteer Travel is seeking to provide volunteers/travelers who are interested in Masai culture and the plight of the Masai women. Working with this project is a great way volunteers can share their areas of expertise and/or education in a wide variety of activities.
All volunteer programs start on the first and third Monday of each month.
