African Roots Foundation Details
The African Roots Foundation, better known under it's acronym ARF, is a not-for-profit organisation based in Arusha, North-Tanzania. It was founded in 2007 on initiative of Bush2Beach Safaris to create a platform for inter-cultural experiences through which Western and African cultures combine their strengths to increase the self support opportunities of local rural communities through the initiation of integrated, community based development projects that are actively and physically supported by eco-tourism. Our mission is to improve the standard of living of small rural communities whilst protecting the natural environment through the creation of small scale, sustainable projects with the members of these communities, assisted by eco-volunteers and eco-tourism to the mutual benefit of both the communities involved as well as their visitors, delivering an active and sustainable contribution throughout Tanzania.The African Roots Foundation is a small organisation, and aims to keep it that way. No big back-office consuming money, it's pure coordination and fund-raising we do here. The projects are, in the end, built and supported by the communities themselves
