CRS IN TANZANIA

Tanzania is often held up as a model of social harmony with an ethnically and religiously diverse population. In addition to having a stable and democratic political system, the country has experienced robust economic growth, and formally graduated from low-income country to lower-middle-income country status in 2020. While Tanzania’s economic success story has raised its global profile, there are significant rural-urban, wealth and gender disparities, particularly in health outcomes.
CRS has been working with the most vulnerable people in marginalized and underserved communities in Tanzania since 1962. Today, the country program supports projects in health, nutrition and early childhood development, youth empowerment, as well as water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).
