Our History

The Salesian missionaries came to Tanzania in 1980 as a fruit of Project Africa that was caused by the post Vatican II Council's determination to evangelize Africa more effectively. For the past forty-three years the Salesians have played an important role in the Catholic Church in Tanzania by focusing on evangelization, education and social services, impacting the holistic growth of the young, poor and marginalised in particular. Our impactful efforts extend across several Archdioceses and Dioceses creating positivity in the socio-economic and spiritual growth of the young, including Dar Es Salaam, Morogoro, Dodoma, Iringa, Moshi, Arusha and Shinyanga. The Salesian Province of Tanzania continues to contribute to the development of Tanzania by offering quality academic, higher and technical education as well as offering faith formation and social services in the Parishes entrusted to our care. The implementation of Don Bosco's Preventive System within its pedagogy by the Salesians in Tanzania serves as a compelling proof of its efficacy in nurturing the growth and development of the youth it serves.
