This group has been created to enable and facilitate communication amongst Tanzanians and Associates living, working and studying in Edinburgh and surroundings, in Scotland. We hope that this will eventually pave a way for a formal (or informal) formation of an association which in turn will enable members to get more organized in terms of communication. We also hope that it will facilitate the sharing of information and communication between and amongst ourselves and our brothers and sisters in Tanzania - including the sitting Leadership back home.

It is worth noting that the June 2002 visit to the Scottish Parliament, in Edinburgh by a delegation of Women MPs from the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania, led by Hon. Anna Makinda MP, motivated and highlighted the importance of having such an association in an organized manner.

We are evolving and adapting as our needs and situation changes with time.
