ABOUT TANZANIA
The United Republic of Tanzania is a coastal African country situated just south of the equator. Although the country is rich in minerals and fertile land, the AIDS epidemic has eliminated too many people in the most productive age group, 15-45, leaving children and the aged behind. The total population of Tanzania is 62 million people, of whom 85% live on less than $3 per day.* Tanzanians average only 7 years of formal schooling, and a great many are illiterate. The Pamoja Project continues to work to meet the challenges of multi-dimensional poverty through programs that support these loving and hopeful people in building a prosperous and productive future for all Tanzania, one family at a time.
