A rapidly growing community in the Ngorongoro Highlands, Karatu has become a model for sustainable community development. Settled more than 2,000 years ago by hunter-gatherers, Karatu sits at the crossroads for four major traditional tribes, most prominently the Iraqw but also the Barbaig, Hadzabe, and Maasai. While it retains its traditional charm, Karatu also serves as northern Tanzania’s secondary tourism hub after Arusha and has a growing population of nearly 200,000 with expanding business and tourism ventures. However, Karatu's growth also translates into increasing education and basic living needs that FoTZC aims to meet.
