The target group of Treesleeper Camp is the Hai//om community, as it is their cultural preservation campsite. Most of the Hai//om community members are economically unstable and marginalized. The Treesleeper project aims to employ Hai//om people who speak English for the jobs directly involved with tourists. For more indirect jobs, such as the selling of crafts and firewood, no English language proficiency is required. Furthermore, it  is important that Hai//om women get a serious role in the project, such as within the committees and in employment. This is something that had already been achieved during the days that Treesleeper Camp was operational. Last, all beneficiaries will come from the rural area of Tsintsabis.
