Partnerships are at the core of who we are and how we operate as a charity. We seek to develop long-term and mutually empowering connections with in-country organisations, collaborating with these teams to support their work with local and vulnerable communities.
The Tanzania Women’s Research Foundation, also known as TAWREF, is a national organisation based in Moshi that develops and implements community-based interventions that are informed by extensive and substantiated research.
TAWREF’s work places a special emphasis on improving the lives of young people and women. They run a variety of projects and programmes, including;
Different types of scientifically-backed therapies for children who’ve experienced trauma
Long-term research into socio-cultural mindsets surrounding HIV/AIDS
Implementation of economic empowerment strategies for community leaders
Education of school children in Moshi on HIV prevention techniques.
Vine Trust collaborates with TAWREF on the construction aspect of their work, supporting the in-country team as they identify particularly vulnerable local families and children and build homes for these community members.
Vine Trust offers Community Partnership Expeditions that are expertly tailored for teams from companies, organisations, and community groups.
These programmes provide a unique opportunity to actively participate in construction activities and other sustainable community development practices, to build stronger working relationships with your colleagues, and to inspire your own personal and professional development.
We can work alongside a group of 12 to 25 volunteers from your organisation to arrange and design an experience that is challenging yet hugely rewarding for everyone involved. You’ll create bonds with both the local community members and your core building team, engaging collectively in a variety of different activities for a common, positive goal.
