Their Future

Silas grew up in Sinai, a village in the Meru district that lacked essential amenities. When we visited the village together, I immediately recognized how our small tour operator could make a significant contribution to the community’s development.

That’s why we invest a portion of our company profits in local community development. By booking your safari with us, you are directly helping to improve the lives of local people.

Through our foundation, the “Luwai Sinai Project,” we have begun renovating the local primary school and building a community center. Here, we are launching various initiatives focused on health, education, nature conservation, agriculture, and women’s empowerment with the help of external specialists.

Through these efforts, Luwai Tanzania Safaris is helping to build a stronger, more resilient community capable of facing the future with confidence.

We love to involve our guests in our efforts. We take inspired visitors to our village, making our initiatives visible and impactful.

Our Programme

 Our first goal is to rebuild the Sinai primary school.

As education is of vital importance to the development of Africa. It is a key tool for promoting economic growth, reducing poverty, and increasing social equality.

The Project

  1. installation of windows and grills
  2. placing new outer walls
  3. finishing outer walls
  4. fitting doors and locks
  5. finishing walls inside
  6. finishing teacher’s room
  7. finishing the boardroom
  8. purchase of school furniture
  9. furniture in staffroom and boardroom
  10. fitting solar panels and electrical installation
  11. power lines, sockets and lighting fixtures
  12. sanitary facilities for students
  13. sanitary facilities for teachers
  14. shower room teachers’ residence
  15. small materials

Estimated budget: $42,000

In the following phase we foresee the purchase of refurbished laptops for the school.

Our children are growing up in a completely different world from the one we grew up in. Mobile phones, computers, Youtube, Netflix and Snapchat are woven into their daily lives.

It is one thing to know how to interact with these technologies, it is another to understand the logic behind them. When learning to program, children will really understand the digital world they live in. Our reliance on technology will only increase in the future. Today’s students should not only be passively using this technology, but also understanding and mastering it.

Estimated budget: $12,000

In the next phase after completion of the secondary school we focus on the village.

Today there is no water source and no electricity.

We are thinking of a solar panel field with electricity distribution to the various homes.

We plan to build a water basin or well for the local community, and in an even later phase

The last phase is the building of a local dispensary.

These plans are partly realised because of you.

An extra reason to plan your safari with Luwai!

Travelling with us means that you are also helping to improve the lives of local residents. We develop initiatives to provide basic needs such as water and electricity and have developed an investment programme for education and healthcare. Through these efforts, Luwai Tanzania Safaris but also its travellers help build a stronger, more resilient community that can better cope with the future.
