PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITIES

The Rafiki Village Project has made a long term commitment to helping the villages of Dumbeta Ward, Tanzania. We have engaged the community in a collaborative partnership that focuses on meeting basic needs including access to education, health care, clean water, and economic opportunities. We believe that this multi-faceted approach will help break the cycle of poverty.
