Big News! The East Africa Philanthropy Network is on the cusp of a pioneering era, and we are overjoyed to share the driving force behind this shift: the newest addition, the phenomenal Women Fund Tanzania Trust. They are not just dreaming of a Tanzanian society where women realize their utmost potential – they are designing it. Their mission? To break barriers, shape futures, and cultivate a land where women stand tall at the forefront of community transformation.
