About Us
Since 2007 we have been building long term and trusted partnerships with the Babati community. Our record of success is built on never starting a project we cannot finish, honest exchange of views and challenges, mutual respect, and trust.
We encourage learning in schools, in the community and within ourselves. Our constant monitoring, evaluation, reflection and learning guides our projects and helps them to adapt, maintain relevance and succeed.
We are committed to building the knowledge, skills and confidence of our Tanzania partners so that in time they are able to operate independently of us. Learn more about our founders and history.

Safeguarding
We take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously by placing the community at the centre of all that we do.
