About Us

The Ward (i.e. County) of Wangama is located in the Southern Highlands of the East African country of Tanzania. The Wabena tribe are predominant in Wangama and both Kiswahili and the tribal language, Kibena, are spoken. Located in the fertile Kipengere Mountains, Wangama is a well-established farming community, harvesting crops such as potatoes, maize, onions, tomatoes, carrots, avocados, spinach, and much more. While the soil is lush, the rural setting of Wangama can pose challenges to the availability of health, education, and environmental resources. Wangama Foundation was established in 2017, along with completed construction of the HIV/AIDS Clinic, in order to continue supporting the health, education and environment sectors in the village. Wangama Foundation was founded by a former Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV Tanzania 2008-2010) and her Peace Corps village counterpart.

Please join us on our journey as we continue to work together with Wangama to support the community and grow in love together.
