This beautiful country is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, which is the tallest mountain in Africa. Three of the largest lakes on the continent are also found in Tanzania – Lake Victoria in the north, Lake Tanganyika in the west and Lake Nyasa in the Southwest.
The Serengeti National Park is also located in Tanzania which is Africa's oldest and most popular park.
Some of the world’s oldest human settlements have been found in Tanzania, at a site called Olduvai Gorge. The hundreds of fossilized bones and stone tools excavated here, are over two million years old! These fossils have been important in the study of human evolution.
Though this amazing country is rich in history and at the epicenter of wildlife, there are an estimated 1,300,000 children that are orphans, due primarily to HIV. They have lost either one or both of their parents due to AIDS. The number of child-headed households in Tanzania has increased significantly in recent years. This is one of the reasons why Shaping Futures Foundation chose Tanzania as its first country to focus our efforts on.
