“Before, I depended on others for everything. But now I earn my own money, send my children to school, and hold my head high. This work gave me more than income - it gave me back my dignity.” (Amina, Worker & Mother | Tanzania)
“Thanks to the training I received, I saved a young man’s life after a road accident - something I couldn’t have done before. This charity didn’t just equip me with skills. It gave me the confidence to lead and the tools to serve my people.”
Dr. Emmanuel, Orthopaedic Trainee | Dar es Salaam

Discover Tanzania: Beauty, Complexity & Potential
A Land of Wonder
Tanzania, nestled in the heart of East Africa, is a nation of breath-taking landscapes, rich heritage, and extraordinary people.
From the snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to the iconic Serengeti plains and turquoise waters of Zanzibar, this country is alive with natural wonder and cultural depth. Home to over 120 ethnic groups, Tanzania’s story is one of community, diversity, and deep-rooted tradition.
But beyond the beauty lies a different reality - one filled with urgency and opportunity.
A Nation of Strength Facing Immense Challenges
Despite its incredible spirit and resilience, many Tanzanians live on less than £1 a day. Access to reliable healthcare is limited—with only three doctors for every 100,000 people—and millions of children remain out of school. In rural areas, poverty, preventable illness, and gender-based violence remain heart-breaking realities. These challenges are complex—but not insurmountable.
Why We’re Here
At Global Connect, we believe every Tanzanian deserves access to quality healthcare, education, and the opportunity to thrive.
That’s why we partner with local organisations, healthcare providers, and communities to deliver targeted, culturally sensitive initiatives in Medical Training & Research, Injury Prevention for Young Athletes, Poverty Relief through Ethical Trade and Support for Domestic Violence Survivors.
Together, we’re not just responding to needs - we’re helping communities rise and rebuild.
