Environmental Project
Environmental Project – Moshi & Arusha
This project is based in Moshi and Arusha, Tanzania, areas known for their greenery and abundant rainfall. Despite this, environmental degradation caused by human activities is increasing. To address these challenges, the Outreach Experience Foundation (OEF) implements activities designed to protect and restore the environment.
Key activities include:
Tree planting campaigns in schools (Go Green Campaign)
Collecting and recycling waste (plastic and metal)
Promoting the use of bio-pesticides and alternative energy sources
Working on this project provides an excellent opportunity for environmental specialists from abroad to understand Africa’s environmental challenges firsthand. We collaborate with educational centers, local governments, NGOs, and community groups to ensure volunteers are placed effectively and gain meaningful experience in their field.
Volunteers are assigned responsibilities based on their abilities and are actively involved in the daily activities of the project.
