Tanzanear is a UK charity dedicated to helping deaf people in Tanzania lead richer and more fulfilling lives. We currently do this by working with two organisations: Buguruni School for the Deaf, a primary school, and UMIVITA, a small NGO, run by young deaf adults, which provides advocacy and support services to deaf people in Dar es Salaam. We also work closely with the Tanzania Society for the Deaf, the NGO which owns Buguruni School.

You can now see videos of what's happening in Tanzania by looking at our Youtube channel: you can either just search for "Tanzanear" on YouTube or go directly here Tanzanear videos

We fundraise, develop networks with other charities and schools in the UK, and introduce volunteers to the school.

Tanzanear Appeal

We are continuing our Christmas Appeal, which you can read about here. We want to raise enough so we can buy a school bag for every single child at Buguruni school. Please help if you can, and spread the word. You can use this form to make a contribution.

Tanzanear Newsletters

Here is our autumn newsletter. We hope you enjoy it and that it gives more idea of what we do and what things are like in Tanzania. We are extremely grateful to Tania Hurt-Newton for the beautiful design, and Ken Mather of Image Plus Printing for printing it. Both these people helped us for free, and we couldn't manage without them.

You can also still download our other Tanzanear Newsletters here.
