The Hearts for Africa Foundation is an Australian charity working in partnership with Amani Care, a Tanzanian charity to foster long-term, intergenerational change in living standards for local communities in Tanzania, East Africa.
Our heart is to support and empower the people of the Makang’wa Village and surrounding Dodoma region as they learn the necessary work and life skills to implement lasting solutions for future generations.
Why your Donations Matter
When you donate to support Hearts for Africa, you are helping fund life-changing programs. We believe that quality education, access to fresh water, good nutrition and healthcare should not only be available, but fundamental and critical building blocks of any developing society.
Transforming Lives
The United Republic of Tanzania, as it is officially known, is the largest country in East Africa and one of the continent’s most politically stable. It is home to Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, and Serengeti National Park, as well as Olduvai Gorge, a rich archaeological site often called “the cradle of civilization.”
However, Tanzania remains a poor country, with a majority of the population struggling as subsistence farmers on semi-arid land. Moreover, the country currently struggles to host more than 144,000 refugees from neighbouring Burundi. Children represent 45% of Tanzania’s population. They are the future of Tanzania and we at Hearts believe EDUCATION serves as a powerful tool to combat poverty, empowering individuals with skills, knowledge, and opportunities for economic and social advancement, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and prosperous society.
