Founded in 2009 and officially registered in 2016 under the NGO Act No. 24 of 2002, HUHESO Foundation is a non-governmental, non-political, and non-profit organization based in Kahama, Shinyanga, Tanzania. The Foundation was established to respond to the needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, gender-based violence, and poverty-related challenges. HUHESO works to lead disadvantaged groups into the development process by promoting dignity, equitable access to services, and social justice, especially for children, youth, women, and people with disabilities.

We serve communities with competence, courtesy, and commitment. Our team works to deliver high-quality and timely services.
We believe in the spirit of service. Our staff and volunteers are motivated by purpose and the value of the work—not material gain.
HUHESO was formed in response to the growing health and social challenges in Tanzania, including:
Rising rates of infections and late-stage diagnoses with limited early screening and awareness.
Widespread violations of rights, especially among girls and young women, fueled by harmful cultural norms.
Marginalized groups — including rural women, youth, and people with disabilities — struggle to access essential care and education.
Deforestation, waste mismanagement, and climate vulnerability threaten health, food security, and local livelihoods.
We deliver friendly, ethical, and inclusive healthcare — from HIV testing to family planning and referrals.
We promote accurate, age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health education to reduce risk and empower choices.
We support women and youth with training, savings groups, and tools to build sustainable businesses and livelihoods.
