SaNDS OF TIME

A Race Against Exploitation

Journey into Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to learn about the hidden and devastating costs of unchecked sand mining. Blending the echoes of the past with the harsh realities of the present and a chilling vision of the future, this powerful experience unravels the profound impact of environmental exploitation—threatening communities, reshaping landscapes, and pushing our planet towards an irreversible dystopia.

The fate of the world rests in your hands! Navigate treacherous obstacle courses and collect precious stones. These stones hold the key to revealing hidden secrets, piecing together the truth, and ultimately healing the world before time runs out, so that a brighter future can shine.
