The Tanzania Advice Bureau provides various advisory services related to citizen's individual needs in the areas of Education, Health, Housing, Legal Aid and Employment. Our organization is patterned after the Citizen's Advisory Bureau in Scotland, U.K.
TAB volunteers meet with clients to understand their needs in a confidential and supportive environment. Based on the client's specific needs TAB works to identify potential avenues for resolving their concerns and helping them make a connection to the appropriate resources.
TAB also meets with a wide range of resources to apraise them of how their services or products are needed by citizens in Tanzania who may not be able to afford them. TAB can help identify opportunities for these resources to contribute to the community they opporate in by helping those in need. TAB reaches out to foreign businesses operating in Tanzania, seeking to engage them as resources for our citizens. These businesses are often willing to volunteer time and resources to help Tanzanians who would benefit from their assistance.
TAB Secretary, Lori Martinez shows her love for the little children when TAB volunteers visited Mabokweni village in Tanga. Volunteers distributed toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, clothes and soccer balls to the village community while Mr. Mashaka talked to the village elders about their concerns.
