ABOUT tanzania development trust
The Tanzania Development Trust (TDT) envisions a future where every person in Tanzania has the opportunity to live a healthy, educated and empowered life. We believe sustainable development in Tanzania is key to achieving this vision and our volunteers work with communities and individuals to make it a reality through education, access to clean water and community empowerment.
OUR VALUES
The Tanzania Development Trust is driven by a set of five core values that guide our charity work:
Empowerment
We continue to empower individuals and communities through education and enterprise to become self-sufficient and take ownership of their own development.
Collaboration
We partner with local communities in Tanzania, ensuring our development programs continue to be relevant and impactful.
Transparency
We are committed to transparency and accountability. Sign up to our Newsletter and stay fully informed about our charity work to improve the lives of people in rural Tanzania.
Innovation
We are constantly seeking new and innovative ways to address development challenges in Tanzania. Furthermore, we continue to try new approaches and learn from our successes and failures.
Sustainability
We continue to prioritise long-term sustainable development in our programs, creating lasting change that continues to benefit individuals and communities well into the future.
OUR APPROACH
We take a holistic approach to development, working across three main areas: education, access to water and community empowerment. Our programs include girls hostels, which aim to raise achievement in government secondary schools and village water points to reduce disease and the time spent collecting water, allowing more girls to access education.
We work closely with local communities to ensure that our programs are relevant and effective, and we prioritize sustainability to ensure our impact lasts.
