01 / OUR STORY

Giving back to the
place we call home.

EST. September 2024
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Sewa is a simple idea:
serve others, without expecting anything in return.

Sewa Tanzania was formed by members of the Bharatiya (Indian-origin) community who have long called Tanzania home. We share a conviction: those who have been fortunate should give back to the communities that host them.

We are a young, hands-on organisation. From cleaning a beach to supporting a classroom, we begin with what we can do today—and build the trust and local partnerships that make tomorrow’s work possible.

Care for the coast. Care for our community.

Our beach clean-up drives bring volunteers together to clear litter and plastic waste from Tanzania’s coastline, protecting marine life and shared public spaces.

A little time, many willing hands, and a shared responsibility for the places we call home.
