The Foundation is the primary vehicle for the family’s charitable work. For seven generations, the family has established a strong legacy for philanthropy in Tanzania such as building schools and hospitals (Usagara Secondary School in Tanga (formerly Karimjee School), the Karimjee Clinic in Mnazi Moja, and the old Karimjee Hospital in Zanzibar), providing educational scholarships, supporting local communities, advocating science and technology, promoting wildlife conservation, working with READ, supporting MSc in Paediatric Oncology and the donation of Karimjee Hall to the Nation.

The mission of the Foundation is to invest in Education as a means to enhance the economic development of Tanzania. Tanzania faces many short and long term socio-economic difficulties. The long-term solution to many of these challenges is education.  Many young Tanzanians are being educated by our Foundation to enable them all to follow their dreams and aspirations.
