Welcome to the Livingstone Tanzania Trust website.

The Livingstone Tanzania Trust is a self-help development charity working to alleviate poverty through education.

We believe that through grassroots participation we can help local communities realise their development aspirations in a cost effective and sustainable way. You can read more about us in our BROCHURE

Alleviating extreme poverty is not a dream, it can be achieved. not through Governments but through people. We, you and me, can fight extreme poverty. It is not rocket science, it just takes a desire. We are making a difference and with your help we can make a difference to more people

We believe that education is not just about students in schools and ought to include the whole community.

As the world move forward and new practices are developed that can help reduce poverty, they are meaningless unless the poor are involved. So we involve our communities and show them new idea and if they think these ideas will help them, they will work with them.  Cheap systems of harvesting and cleaning rainwater can be invaluable to a subsistence farmer, and can make the difference between some crops and no crops, sick children or healthy children. This is why education needs to be more than just classroom learning.

Help us bring real changes to these communities by completing the DONATION FORM or by clicking on the photo to see how else you can help.

If you give a man a fish, he will be able to eat for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself

(but you have got to give him the net first !!)

We aim to provide long-term sustainable solutions so that when we walk away and the projects will continue to thrive. This exit strategy is at the heart of all we are doing because we want to create self-reliance and not dependency.Training middle management and developing entrepreneurial flare is key to this strategy.
