Fahari yetu Tanzania is an applied heritage conservation programme that supports poverty alleviation and sustainable community development in the country. The programme was established in 2013 as a project of the University of Iringa and registered as an independent NGO in 2019. The name fahari yetu – a Swahili term translating to “our pride” – refers to the organization’s guiding principle of making people proud of their origins, culture and history.

This research and exhibition project supports the conservation of Tanzanian cultural heritage through exploring oral history and colonial memories of local communities in form of visual art and photography.
