Where We Work

Since 1992, Action for Relief and Development Assistance (AFREDA) has been transforming communities across Tanzania. Working alongside local communities, international donors, NGOs, and government partners, we implement programs that empower people, strengthen livelihoods, and promote sustainable development.
