Svetan is a non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 1968, operating without political or religious affiliations. Our association welcomes anyone with an interest in Tanzania and its development.

Our Mission

Svetan is dedicated to:

• Supporting Tanzania’s development initiatives.
• Strengthening the bonds between Sweden and Tanzania.
• Promoting awareness of Tanzania within Sweden.

Publications

We publish the quarterly periodical Habari, offering current and insightful information about Tanzania. Our Habari archive dates back to 1974, with issues from 2002 onwards available as downloadable PDFs on our website.

Partnerships and Activities

Svetan supports the Tumaini Children’s Centre in Bukoba, which provides essential assistance and empowerment to vulnerable children and youth in the Kagera region. We actively collaborate with friendship associations, sister organizations, and the Tanzanian Embassy to further our shared goals.

Through cultural events, seminars, and meetings, we provide valuable insights into Tanzania’s current affairs, fostering a deeper understanding and connection between Sweden and Tanzania.
