    AFREDA’s main beneficiaries are poor women and their families, people living with HIV/AIDS; orphans, vulnerable, disabled and street children; child laborers; girls; households taking care of HIV/AIDS orphans, farmers, and civil society organization leaders and staff.

    The organization is based in the Tanzanian commercial capital of Dar es Salaam; however, for the past 20

    years the organization has been implementing projects in the most marginalized communities in Tanzania, including those far away from the commercial capital. AFREDA currently has six field offices throughout the country in Kagera, Mara, Tanga, Lindi, Morogoro and Pwani regions and has also worked in the regions of Kilimanjaro, Rukwa, Tabora, and Zanzibar.
