Who We Are
CARE Tanzania is a leading international non-governmental organization with over 30 years of transformative work across Tanzania. Established in 1994 and registered under the Non-Governmental Organizations Act No. 24 of 2002 with registration number I-NGO/R1/00869, we are part of CARE International, one of the world’s largest humanitarian and development networks, operating in over 110 countries and reaching more than 170 million people through 1,600 projects globally.
Since our founding, CARE Tanzania has implemented more than 100 projects spanning agriculture, health, education, economic empowerment, climate resilience, and humanitarian response. Every project we design and deliver is grounded in the evidence-based belief that lasting change begins when women and girls are empowered to lead their own futures.
We work with governments, communities, local organizations, and international partners to design solutions that are innovative, context-specific, and built to last long after our direct support ends. Our approach goes beyond service delivery; we work to shift the social norms, policies, and power structures that keep women and girls from reaching their full potential.
