The Shirati Health, Education, and Development Foundation (“SHEDF” or the “SHED Foundation”), began its official existence when it was formally registered with the Tanzanian Government on 24 January 2006 as a not-for-profit company. SHED Foundation was granted a Certificate of Compliance, an NGO (non-governmental organization) status by the Government of Tanzania on March 21st, 2006. With its head office in Shirati, a rural village in Rorya District, North Western Tanzania, bordered by Lake Victoria near the Kenya-Tanzania border, SHEDF was given a mandate to work anywhere in mainland Tanzania, in the areas of health, education, and development.
