By Epimark Lastone – Tanzanian Positive Impact Co-Ordinator A philosophy we hold close to our hearts is that of actively supporting local communities and finding ways to ensure these communities have the opportunity to empower themselves in the most positive way possible. Many community members from local villages find it hard to find jobs and create sustainable incomes – a very real issue these communities face today is that many members have to resort to illegal work such as poaching in order to make a living. This is a mindset that we work hard to change and hope that our Positive Impact work makes a change in their lives, too.
