Where We Work
Grassroots Organizing in Tanzania
At the invitation of Anglican Bishop Mbelwa Godfrey and Lutheran clergy, Rev. John Rutsindintwarane, who leads Faith in Action International’s organizing in Africa, is supporting new multi-faith grassroots organizing efforts in Muleba and Ngara, Tanzania. Muleba is close to Lake Victoria and at the far west of Tanzania. Critical issues include wells going dry as a result of climate change, underinvestment in schools, health clinics and other community infrastructure, and the need for a university to serve the region. Ngara is a rich agricultural region threatened by mining and lack of support for local farming. For more information about our emerging work in Tanzania contact Rev. John Rutsindintwarne at jrutsi@gmail.com.
