WHO THEY ARE

The Tanzania Development Trust (TDT) is a registered UK charity (Charity number 270462) that has funded development projects within Tanzania since 1975.

TDT’s parent, The Britain Tanzania Society (BTS), was created by friends of Mwalimu Nyerere, the first President of an independent Tanzania, to promote friendship and co-operation between the peoples of Tanzania and the United Kingdom.

The Executive Committee of BTS appoints the Trustees, Chair and Treasurer of TDT. They operate through teams of dedicated volunteers, within the UK and Tanzania.

Officers of TDT’s UK-based team include Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and Website Manager. The team’s Project Officers are all highly knowledgeable about Tanzania, and most are regular visitors to Tanzania.

TDT’s Tanzania-based team consists of Local Representatives in each of the areas in which they work. They provide their essential eyes and ears on the ground.

Their Trustees each have a role within TDT and are  Janet Chapman, Andrew Coulson, David Gibbons, Robert Gibson, Petronilla Mwakatuma, Jonathan Pace and Elizabeth Taylor
