Created by IFEDD

Locally owned, locally built.

Tazama was created by IFEDD, the Initiative des Femmes Entrepreneurs pour le Développement Durable, a Congolese non-profit based in Goma. IFEDD works on human rights and the responsible management of natural resources in and around mining sites, and built Tazama to support digitalization in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
