Art in Tanzania's Mission Statement: Volunteering and adventure tours in Tanzania. Helping poor and underprivileged. Supporting arts and music. To enhance the livelihood of the rural villages, orphans, women and tribal people as the Masai tribe. We also perform environmental projects as introducing fire bricks made of waste materials to avoid forest cutting for charcoal.
