SENE utilizes the skills and expertise of Tanzanians to support and develop the local economy. Simon’s personal mission is to teach both SENE employees and SENE guests about the mutual benefits from adventure travel in Tanzania. Yet, the benefits are more than economic, as the SENE model promotes community engagement and cross-cultural interaction. Here are some of our initiatives and impacts:
- SENE is Tanzanian-owned. It has always had its main office in Moshi, at the foot of Kilimanjaro, hires exclusively local employees in the Kilimanjaro office, and has its Mbahe Village guest cottages in Kilimanjaro.
- As a member of the community, Simon ensures all employees are given fair wages. SENE abides by the fair porter treatment practices of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project.
