Purpose

We are committed to creating lasting and positive change in both our expedition participants and those whom we serve throughout the world. We believe in making a difference to the one, whether that is you as the participant or the ones we serve. We may not change the world, but we believe we can change the world of an individual one smile, one project, and one expedition at a time.

Building A Future of Hope

We are reaching out to our community, our fellow helpers, with high hopes that we can reach our goal of completing the women’s center by December 1, 2025. December in Tanzania is FGM season, the “cutting month.” Every December we will fill the center to the brim with girls, women, and anyone who needs a safe haven, a place of refuge. With your help, this center will not sit empty. It will be a sanctuary. A place where women can be educated, provided clean drinking water, fresh meals, business opportunities, and a haven from the world of abuse many are seeking refuge from.

In regions like Manyara, Dodoma, and Arusha, as many as 1 in 2 girls face the risk of Female Genital Mutilation — a life-altering practice we’re working to end.

OUR MISSION & VISION

Imagine standing in a remote village, the laughter of children filling the air as you help build a classroom that will shape their future. Picture the pride on a single mother’s face as she learns a new skill that will support her family for years to come. This isn’t just travel—it’s transformation. At ROAM Humanitarian, we believe in the profound power of service and cultural connection to change lives, including your own.
