Thandanani Foundation was founded in 2017 in Kibaha, Dar e Salaam Tanzania.  This is how our story started…

While back packing across East Africa, I (Fern-Lee Pedrica co-founder) landed in Tanzania.  Fell in love with the country and it’s people.  The Tanzanians are such humble, kind, honest, hard working and God fearing people.  They are so poor, yet want to give so much.  There I met my very good friend, Anya Mtetemela (co-founder).  Anya started his first charity at the age of 18.  He saw how desperately his community needed help, so he tried his best to feed, get meds, organise transport for hospital emergencies & take care of their well being as best he could.  Unfortunately, due to economic circumstances he was forced to close.  The combination of my love for the people and Anya being an inspiration we decided to begin our journey together through this organisation, Thandanani Foundation.
