NGOs in Tanzania
Verified NGO contacts and profiles in Tanzania, published in the printed and electronic NGOs Eastern Africa Directory.

Our Tanzanian section gathers these organisations into one verified reference with contacts, locations and profile information for every entry.

Conservation, health and education lead the Tanzanian sector
Tanzania is one of the few countries in the region where environment and conservation organisations command a large share of nonprofit activity, driven by protected areas, tourism revenue and community conservancy models. Health organisations are equally prominent, running dispensaries, maternal health programmes, HIV and malaria services and community health worker networks in districts where government facilities are stretched.
Education organisations cover everything from primary school support and teacher training to vocational skills and scholarship programmes. Water, sanitation and agricultural organisations complete the picture, often working through cooperatives and village committees rather than through formal programmes alone.
What each Tanzanian listing includes
Entries record the organisation name, postal and physical address, telephone and email contacts, website and social handles, the regions and districts of operation, the sectors worked in, and a profile of mission, programmes and partners. Where an organisation operates one central office and several field offices, the profile notes the field locations so that readers know where delivery actually happens.
Our editorial team verifies submitted details before publication and refreshes them as organisations move, change contact numbers or expand into new districts. Readers relying on the printed edition also receive the electronic edition, which is searchable and can be updated during the year.
