CARE Tanzanian’s history

CARE International has been present in Tanzania since April 1994 when CARE International established a temporary presence in response to the crisis in Ngara, Kagera region. Since then, CARE Tanzania has had three long term strategic plans developed focusing on the following objectives:

•  Tackling causes of poverty and inequality faced by women and girls (2004-2008)
• Focusing on rural women’s and girls’ empowerment. (2010–2014)
• Focusing on rural women empowerment through resilient futures (2014-2020)

We believe that through economic empowerment, women in Tanzania will unlock all milestones needed to achieve empowering women and girls. CARE Tanzania believes that through promoting women’s rights, financial inclusion, entrepreneurship and business development services then women in Tanzania will achieve economic liberation contributing positively to different levels of the economy.

By 2028, CARE and our partners will globally support 200 million people from the most vulnerable and excluded communities to overcome poverty and inequality faced by women and girls.
