Mikuyu Tanzania
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its work fits best if your project tackles poverty in Tanzania through education, health or sustainable livelihoods, with community-led delivery, because that is how it describes its own programmes.
- Its annual report shows annual giving of £20,646 and grants mainly in Tanzania, so a modest request tied to a Tanzanian project is the most realistic approach, though no grant range is stated, so do not assume a particular amount.
- No application process is published, so start by getting in touch through the contact shown on its website or register entry rather than sending an unsolicited proposal.
- Its focus on long-term partnerships with local stakeholders suggests that a relationship built over time may count for more than a cold approach, but neither its annual report nor its website shows how it chooses between applicants.
- Nothing published rules any type of organisation out.
