Malengo ya tuzo hizi ni kuonyesha mchango mkubwa wa watanzania na wasaidizi wenye utaalam kutoka nje ya nchi wanaojitolea katika jamii kwa kutoa muda na ujuzi wao kwa ajili ya kuendeleza jamii.

There are countless unsung heroes living across Tanzania and yet we often associate “giving back” as an action of a donor or part of a corporate social responsibility but in reality, there are many Tanzanian’s who give their precious time to contribute to positive change without any monetary reward.
Do you know someone that helps others in the community? Someone that spends their time for free improving the lives of others? We want to hear more about these people and you can help us learn about their story by nominating them for Tanzania Gives Back 2011 national Awards. This year 8 categories for the Tanzania Gives Back platform will mark 50 years of Independence by highlighting unsung heroes from across Tanzania. Complete the nomination form by 23rd May 2011 and tell us about someone who you know that has done something amazing, outstanding and giving towards others.
