Our story, mission, and the community we serve.
BlueTanzanite Volunteer Charity Limited is a registered non-profit organization in Tanzania (Reg. No. 133371), founded on February 21, 2017. We are proudly independent—free from any political, religious, governmental, or ethnic affiliations.
We are deeply rooted in the vibrant community of Mirerani, within the Simanjiro District of Manyara Region, home to the world-famous Tanzanite mining area.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: To transform lives through education, compassion, and global connection.
Mirerani is a vibrant town known globally as the only source of Tanzanite, a rare blue-violet gemstone. While the mines drive the local economy, the work is unpredictable, leaving many families waiting months for income.
Despite these challenges, the community is full of strength, hope, and resilience. BlueTanzanite exists to support the children of these hardworking families, ensuring they have a stable foundation for the future.
