Learn About Us

Worldwide non-profit charity organization

Wakwetu Foundation is a Tanzanian non-profit organization established in 2015 with the goal of improving lives through education, healthcare, and community development. We focus on vulnerable children and marginalized communities, providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to break the cycle of poverty. Our programs have reached over 10,000 beneficiaries across 5 regions in Tanzania.

Our mission is to empower underprivileged children and communities in Tanzania through sustainable development programs. We achieve this by building schools, providing scholarships, improving access to healthcare, and implementing community-based projects that create long-term solutions to poverty. We believe every child deserves quality education and a chance to succeed.

We envision a Tanzania where every child has access to quality education, healthcare, and basic needs regardless of their background. Our long-term goal is to establish a network of learning centers across the country and develop programs that address the root causes of poverty while equipping young people with skills for the future.

Testimonial

What people say about Wakwetu Foundation

Grace Mboya

Scholarship Beneficiary

"Thanks to Wakwetu Foundation's scholarship, I'm now in my second year at university studying medicine. Without their support, I would have had to drop out after primary school. They didn't just pay my fees - they believed in me when no one else did."

Robert Johnson

International Donor

"I've supported several charities, but Wakwetu stands out for their transparency and measurable impact. The regular updates showing exactly how my donations are used give me confidence that every dollar makes a real difference."

Neema Kavishe

Community Leader

"The water project Wakwetu implemented in our village has transformed our lives. Children no longer miss school to fetch water, and waterborne diseases have reduced dramatically. Their community-centered approach ensures lasting change."

Thomas Anderson

Volunteer

"Volunteering with Wakwetu was a life-changing experience. Their team works with such dedication and integrity. I came to teach computer skills but ended up learning so much about resilience and community from the people I met."
