Visits to “Spaza Shops“ (informal stores) and inspiring projects are some of the popular opportunities to exchange with locals.

In order to avoid the “voyeurism” effect, we encourage interaction so that guests and locals benefit from our visit. If necessary, and depending on the clients themselves, we facilitate this for example at the Kindergarten (crèche) with a game, which children and guests alike are encouraged to participate in.
