Welcome to L.I.F.E. Tanzania!

L.I.F.E. is a registered non-governmental and non-profit organization based in Arusha, Tanzania. Uplifting families and communities through sustainable support.

Supporting Children, Empowering Families

Together, we want to support families sustainably and open up new perspectives.

Family first

Children belong in families and families deserve fair opportunities regardless of their background.

No orphanages

No child with living, caring relatives should ever have to live in an institution.

Sustainable support

We want to strengthen vulnerable families to help themselves in the long term.

Support at eye level

We learn, listen and find solutions together.

Intercultural Exchange

Our international team uses the advantage of different backgrounds to learn from each other.

Transparency

We cooperate with local authorities and make sure that all aid gets to where it is needed.

Who we are

L.I.F.E. was founded by a motivated Tanzanian team with years of experience in the field of grassroots development aid, who wanted to bring together the experience they had gained to create their own project. Our sister organization STEP Africa has been supporting meaningful projects in Arusha with the help of international volunteers since 2014.
