Tanzania
Tanzania was established as a united republic in 1964, following the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The coastal belt where a large part of the population live is a flat lowland along the Indian Ocean with a tropical climate.
Sightsavers in Tanzania
Sightsavers has been helping to develop eye care services in Tanzania since the 1950s. By working in partnership with government and local organisations we have helped establish a health system which links up eye care, education and rehabilitation services in the most needy regions in the country.
