DMI 15 Years of Music Education and Conservation in Tanzania

Bridging music education and African Blackwood conservation in Tanzania, Daraja Music Initiative (DMI) harnesses the transformative power of music to cultivate a sustainable future through innovative initiatives that foster environmental stewardship, ensuring the longevity of music's natural resources.

2025 marks our milestone 15th anniversary! DMI is on a mission to raise funds during April, as a countdown to Arbor Day (April 25). All funds will go directly towards DMI's music and conservation education efforts in Tanzania this summer. Please help us reach our goal of $5,000.

Funds from this campaign will go towards student field trips, planting African Blackwood and fruit trees at local schools, field trip lunches and snacks for our students, stipends for our Tanzanian partners and interpreters, as well as other operational costs.

In Tanzania...

$25 will cover school supplies (paper, pencils, chalk, etc) for the summer.

$25 will provide one coaster (small bus) for a student field trip.

$50 will cover student lunches for four field trips.

$75 will cover an educational outreach tree planting (trees, transportation, etc).

$100 will cover local transportation for a month for students who commute from far away to be able to attend DMI events safely.

$200 will help sponsor a student field trip (multiple coasters, lunches, water, park fees, etc)

All donations are tax-deductible, as DMI is a 501(c)(3) organization. For more information, please visit: www.darajamusicinitiative.org
