Welcome to WipahS- Making a difference in Tanzania

WIPAHS started in 1980’s, when  few philanthropist from the community dedicated their services in trying to improve the living conditions of the indigenous community, who have been suffering severely from poverty, disease and illiteracy.

Upon visiting the villages, homes, mosques, Madrasas etc, it was witnessed that the situation of most of these people was very despairing and they were in desperate need of help.
With meagre financial and human resources, these philanthropists started a few projects for the upliftment of these under-privileged members of the society and as they were getting closer to them, they uncovered that the biggest hindrance in welfare was lack of proper education, especially in Muslim community.

It is said that illiteracy, disease and poverty are the biggest enemy of human beings and it was felt that the only solution to combat these three is through education. Hence all efforts were put together in disseminating the much needed quality education to the deprived members of the society at subsidised rate.
Al-Hamdu Lillah! With the grace of Almighty and support from well-wishers and donors we have today over 20 different projects, which can be classified in 6 categories as following:
