Karimu is an NGO which has operated in Tanzania for the past 16 years. This video showcases the details of completed projects in 2024, those still under way, and their expansion to the neighboring ward (Arri) using the same principles that made Karimu successful till now and making use of the learnings from the past years of experience.
7 staff members are now employed by the NGO, all locally in Tanzania - employee costs still represent less than 1% of the NGO's funding. Thank you for watching - and for donating!

Mission:
Karimu envisions a world without poverty. Our mission is to partner with communities to build pathways out of poverty that enable independent and thriving rural communities in the developing world. We engage deeply with local communities and government officials to set priorities for precise projects that address these challenges.
Interconnected Problems:
Lack of clean water and inadequate sanitation affect the health of a community while generating other serious problems. Time spent fetching water from muddy rivers-work performed largely by children-is time lost for education. Poor education means fewer opportunities later to earn a decent income. Meager income forces a family into painful choices regarding which child’s basic school costs-say, for uniforms-shall be paid. No access to financial services leaves the family without a safety net when an emergency strikes. If a family member gets sick or drought reduces its crop yield, the family may need to sell a portion of its meager assets, sinking them even deeper into poverty. Thus, the problems of the poor are interconnected.
