Does ATA do any community and environmental work?
Plans are underway to build an orphanage center in Moshi, the home town of Gilbert Minja and most of the ATA staff. The idea is some of the profit obtained from your trips will go directly to support the project. We now have many orphans in our country left behind by AIDS victims, and we understand that it is our responsibility to take care of those who have been left behind. We also encourage people to plant trees in their areas and help them with the supplies. On the mountain each company should be responsible and bring their own trash down, but unfortunately a lot of trash is left behind. We pay our staff extra money when they collect trash left behind by inconsiderate people and bring it down the mountain.
