Arusha Children's Trust

Arusha Children's Trust

The Arusha Children's Trust is a registered charity which works to help the children of the Arusha area of Tanzania to develop sustainable economies without creating a dependence on tourism. The Trust works to promote health and education, to improve environmental awareness whilst preserving the traditional culture and heritage of the people who live there.

Marcus Gilbert filmed an appeal for the Trust while making a documentary about his climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in 2004

History

In 1997, during a trek operated by Tropical Trails on behalf of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), participants recognised the need for a project that would:

  • assist rural communities, primarily children
  • improve access to education and health programmes
  • increase the awareness of environmental issues
  • preserve culture and tradition

The Arusha Children's Trust was registered as a charity in the UK at the beginning of 1998.
