On saturday, I had the honour of speaking at the 50th Anniversary of the Britain–Tanzania Society and the Tanzania Development Trust at St. James’s Church, Piccadilly, London.

For half a century, BTS and TDT have shown the power of people-to-people diplomacy—touching over 900,000 lives in Tanzania through grassroots projects, education, and innovation.

Together, we honour the past, celebrate the present, and commit to a future of deeper collaboration, youth empowerment, and sustainable development.

👏 Asanteni sana to all who make this enduring friendship flourish. Here’s to the next 50 years—bolder, broader, and brighter!
