Our Charity:

Open Africa Tours and Safaris Ltd. are in the process of building an orphanage in Western Tanzania. This is the only Orphanage located in this town. The population of Kasulu district is approximately 700,000. This district is very poor and lacking in modern electricity throughout the region. Many places of business depend on generators for electricity. An orphanage in this district will be a welcomed relief to many families that do not have the means to care for orphaned children. If you would like to make a donation to further our efforts in erecting the orphanage, please contact us
