Did you Know?
Tanzania, according to recent UN statistics is listed as one of the 50 poorest and most underdeveloped countries in the world? In 2005, sub-saharan Africa contributed to 44% of the world’s child mortality rate. Little has changed in this time. 982’000 people out of the developing world’s 4.8 billion live on less than $1 a day and a further 2.5 billion (40% of the world’s population) on less than $2. This includes Tanzania.
With the average income per household estimated at less than $100.00 per month in rural areas and annual fees required for most educational centres, it is clear to see how poorer families struggle to cope with such living demands. Education becomes a luxury and not a basic human right.
Top 50 of the poorest countries
22% illiterates in the population
Only 29% visit secondary school
1.5 million children are orphans
Together we protect, inspire, educate and uplift every child
PeaceMatunda Tours was founded in 2000 by Tanzanian local, Unambwe Zephania Kaaya, a professional wildlife guide and community leader. Beginning as just small cultural tour company it has expanded over the years to offer a variety of wildlife, trekking, and cultural Safari programs.
