SHARE TANZANIA REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 1169474
Mission & Objective
Share Tanzania aims to alleviate poverty for public benefit, through the creation of children’s homes, community buildings, grants, school fees, medical fees, books, equipment to children and young people, hygiene and nutritional support for vulnerable individuals, those with special needs, HIV/Aids, children who experienced hardship of life on the streets, children who are struggling and dealing with trauma, elderly in need and single guardians caring for children living in Tanzania and animal welfare. We have referred to the guidance contained within the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives, and in planning our future events.
Structure, Governance and Management
Share Tanzania is a Charitable Incorporated Organization which is governed by a foundation constitution. Trustees can be appointed by other trustees, with a minimum of two and a maximum of twelve trustees. Decisions are made at trustee meetings, in writing and/or electronic forms agreed upon by charity trustees. Meetings take place via online video calls or in person. Informal correspondences by email, WhatsApp, Facetime or in person. Meetings are held monthly with an AGM in November. Trustees periodically review governance to ensure that appropriate structures and mechanisms are in place as the charity evolves. Safeguarding items are continually reviewed and continual safeguarding training is required.
Trustees

The majority of funds received by Share Tanzania are individual donations made through our website. Donations in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange on the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net incoming resources for the year. The charity also receives funds by way of restricted and unrestricted grants, from foundation and corporate entities.
Grant Making Policy
The charitable activities of Share Tanzania are achieved through its grant making policies and by the provisions of the mission of the charity . For the 2020-2021 year we granted funds to the Tanzanian NGO, Share Tanzania. We have continued to have significant collaboration with the NGO by discussing which of their works to support through grants. Reports are received from the NGO on activities and overall progress toward each year’s budget and planning. Share Tanzania supports the full running costs, projects, and expansion of the NGO through its grants.
PROJECTS & ACHIEVEMENTS At a Glance
With over one hundred children, both special needs and able-bodied, Featherstale Children's Village continues to house and support children, some of whom came to the village neglected, abused or abandoned. Some special needs children come to live at the village with their single mothers. The mothers have the opportunity to earn an income working as caregivers at Featherstale, or have the opportunity to work out in the community knowing their children are being cared for. The village, comprised of multiple homes including Kipepeo (butterfly) house, Sunshine house, Norah’s home and Esther’s home, continues to expand as the doors are kept open to more children in need. This year the occupational and physical therapy teams continued to see progress and improvements with the children, and helped teach new caregivers best handling techniques and feeding protocols. Together, the teams of caregivers, social workers, nurses, OTs and PTs continue work together to facilitate a positive and nurturing environment for the children.
Angels Gate Center for Street Involved Children continues to be a safe home, aiding in the rehabilitation of boys who have suffered traumatic events living on the streets. Education for the boys ranges from primary and secondary school, to vocational and college course. This year ten boys enrolled in vocational training learning programs ranging from mobile systems, auto electric and mechanics, to welding and metal fabrication. Outreach rescued nineteen boys and two girls. Of those boys 14 remained at the center. Outreach also successfully reunified 9 boys with grandparents.
The Music and Arts School, located next to Angels Gate, continues to provide the boys an outlet for self expression and healing through music and art. This year the boys have produced a total of 26 songs, 13 of which came from the boys at Angels Gate and Featherstale. One of their singles debuted on the local radio station. Some of the boys have created a dance group.
PROJECTS & ACHIEVEMENTS At a Glance
Uchira Children’s Fund continues to provide access to education for children in the local communities. Some of these children were in child labour prior to the program. Community Outreach Program continues to provide inneed families with nutritional support and medical care. The outreach team continually supports the community by identifying children in need of therapy and medical care, and by supporting, educating and creating business models for families to be self sustainable.
Mama Gladness' Story
As a single parent of a disabled child, Mama Gladness was unable to labour and watch her child simultaneously, leading to a simple yet difficult choice. Leave the child home alone or go without food. Through our community outreach program, Gladness attended appointments with an orthopedic specialist and was fitted with custom leg braces. Mama Gladness was supported in opening her own shop. Now Mama Gladness is able to support herself and her child, all while being able to keep a watchful eye on little Gladness.
With over 100 dogs under the care of Kilimanjaro Animal Rescue, the rescue provides shelter, food, vaccinations and medical care. The dedicated staff also provide daily love and exercise to all the pups.
This year a total of 47 dogs were rescued. Twelve dogs were adopted out to local families. The staff of the animal rescue, headed by Dr. Jesca, has improved connections with other organizations and with local government on ways to combat the stray dog populations. Dr Jesca looks forward to increase her local community education and vaccination program.
Lucky's Story
Malnourished, covered in lice and infected wounds, Mr Lucky was found by Roger, an animal rescue team member. He was immediately brought to the shelter. In his critical condition, the team was unsure if he would pull though. After making progress in his recovery, he was healthy enough to join the pack. Today Lucky enjoys the companionship of the other dogs and staff and has made strides in his healing journey.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Breaking Ground: New Projects & Expansion
2021 has brought exciting opportunities to expand with the help and partnership of the Wong Foundation, the corporate donor EMS and the NFT Doge Community. Three new projects were put in motion by the end of 2021. We look forward to the months ahead, as all three projects are set to be operational in 2022.
New Children's Village
Setting the foundation for the new Children's Village. It's location is an eight hour drive from Uchira, in the capital city of Dodoma. The Children's Village when completed will be larger than our Featherstale Village, thus able to support and accommodate more vulnerable and in need children and adults. With phase one of the village construction currently underway, we thank the Wong Foundation for bringing this vision to fruition.
The Doge Pound Shelter
Located near our current rescue, construction has begun for our new Doge Pound Shelter. This new project, in partnership with the Doge Pound community, aims to not only double the size and number of dogs in our current rescue but also expand community education, vaccination and spay and neuter programs .
Therapy Center
The Therapy Center aims to serve in need children and adults in the local community. Located in the town of Moshi, the center creates access for people to receive occupational, physical and sensory therapy as well as education and training for parents and caregivers. The center will be equip with state of the art therapy equipment generously funded and provided by EMS.
