Events

By organizing and hosting various events, we aim to raise awareness of our foundation among interested individuals, other foundations, and companies in order to attract additional donors.


In recent years, we have held several Tinga Tinga art exhibitions in Switzerland and Germany, much to the delight of many enthusiastic buyers of these artworks from Tanzania.


Upon invitation, our board members and ambassadors are happy to speak at culturally and socially engaged foundations and service clubs (Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, etc.).


In addition, we host an annual golf tournament in Switzerland, which is highly appreciated by many golfers. Further similar events are in the planning stages.


Please contact us if you would like more information.
