Our Root
HakiElimu (Right to Education) is a registered Non-Governmental Organization, established in 2001 by 13 Tanzanian Founding Members. Our history is rooted in the ambition of the Founding members – “Citizens, if actively involved in education governance, can make a difference in the education sector”.
