This partnership model helps us expand education access, improve child care services, and create practical income opportunities for women and youth in a sustainable and accountable way.
Income Generation
Cultural tourism that directly funds community development
TAWESO generates income through cultural tourism activities carried out around Mto wa Mbu village. This model combines culture, nature, and family participation to create sustainable local revenue.
Village walking tours
Great Rift Valley hiking
Canoeing experiences
Home-based cultural visits
Plantation visits
Traditional cooking demos
Visitors explore banana, rice, maize, and fruit farms, learn traditional farming practices, taste local products, and spend time with host families. Women prepare traditional meals and guide cultural cooking demonstrations that generate direct household income.
The income TAWESO receives is reinvested in programs that uplift children, youth, and women, ensuring tourism contributes directly to the social and economic well-being of the whole community.
Support for Children
Tourism income helps pay school fees, purchase uniforms and learning materials, and improve school facilities through classroom expansion, desks, sanitation, and clean water support.
Youth Employment
TAWESO empowers youth through jobs as guides, canoe operators, and cultural interpreters, while building skills in tourism, hospitality, and environmental conservation.
Women Empowerment
Women earn through meal preparation, home hosting, and handmade products. This strengthens financial independence, supports family needs, and increases women's participation in community development.
