RAFIKI Social Development Organization (RAFIKI-SDO) is a Tanzanian non-governmental organization established in 2005 and headquartered in Shinyanga. For nearly two decades, we have worked alongside communities to empower children, youth, women, and vulnerable populations to realize their rights and achieve their full potential.
Through community-driven and rights-based approaches, RAFIKI-SDO designs and implements sustainable development programs that improve access to education, health services, child protection, economic opportunities, and social wellbeing.
Today, RAFIKI-SDO operates across multiple regions of Tanzania, partnering with communities, government institutions, development agencies, and international donors to create lasting and measurable impact.
