Our Partners
Local leadership and international collaboration, reinforcing one another for more than twenty years.
Partnership has been central to SHED Foundation since its earliest years. SHED was built on the belief that local leadership and international collaboration can reinforce one another: communities identify priorities and provide the knowledge needed to make projects work; SHED provides a permanent Tanzanian institutional presence; and partner organizations contribute expertise, research capacity, professional networks, funding and other resources.
Over more than two decades, this model has connected rural communities in northern Tanzania with hospitals, universities, researchers, engineers, government institutions, nonprofit organizations and individual supporters in Tanzania and abroad. Some of these relationships remain active today, while others were associated with particular projects or periods in SHED’s history. Both are important parts of SHED’s story.
