Where we work

For over 30 years, CARE Tanzania has worked alongside communities across nearly every corner of the country; from the islands of Zanzibar to the shores of Lake Tanganyika, from the foothills of Kilimanjaro to the highlands of Njombe. Today, we are active in 8 regions, with plans to reach further.

Our National Footprint

Since 1994, CARE Tanzania has had a presence in more than 25 of Tanzania’s 31 regions, making us one of the most geographically experienced international NGOs in the country. We work across both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, partnering with the Government of Tanzania, INGOs, local civil society organizations, and communities to deliver lasting change.

Today, we operate active programs in 8 regions, are planning expansion into new regions, and carry a deep legacy of completed projects across many more. Our footprint reflects three decades of intentional, evidence-driven, partnership-led work going where vulnerability is deepest and where local partnerships can drive sustainable transformation.

Our Legacy Across Tanzania

While our current operations span 8 regions, CARE Tanzania’s footprint over the past 30 years extends far beyond. Since 1994, we have implemented projects in regions across the country; from the refugee response in Kagera that marked our beginning to long-term development work in Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Manyara, Dodoma, Singida, Tabora, Mara, Mwanza, Simiyu, Lindi, Mtwara, Pwani, Ruvuma, Kagera, and beyond.

Across these regions, our completed projects have left behind something that endures:

  • Stronger local organizations equipped to continue the work
  • Trained government extension officers and community health workers
  • Functioning Village Savings and Loan Associations still meeting today
  • Empowered women and girls continuing to lead change in their communities

Our Projects

We put women and girls in the center because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights.
