ABG Maendeleo Fund

We established the ABG Maendeleo Fund in 2011 as part of our commitment to promoting sustainable development in Tanzania. ABG aims to commit US$10 million per year to the fund, making it the largest community development fund of its kind in Tanzania. We use the fund to support all of our community investment programmes. Funding priority is given to investments that support community development and capacity building, access to health, education and water and environment projects within communities surrounding our operations.

Education

 

Supporting projects that increase access to education is a primary objective of the ABG Maendeleo Fund. Our core projects focus on increasing educational infrastructure, through the building and renovation of schools, providing core supplies, such as books and equipment, and providing scholarships and training opportunities for students and members of the teaching profession.

Healthcare

 

We support access to healthcare through investment in a wide range of projects, including projects that build and strengthen local healthcare infrastructure, projects that increase healthcare capacities through training and development, the sponsorship of international surgical missions and by supporting a range of initiatives aimed at helping to combat core infectious diseases, namely malaria, HIV/AIDs, and tuberculosis.

Community development

 

We support community economic development through training and employment initiatives and local trading arrangements. We use local suppliers and businesses wherever possible for our operations, and support training programmes that aim to enhance skill sets within communities.
