Society For Service to Rural Development in Tanzania (Ssrd-Tanzania) is an independent, non-governmental, non-political and non-profit making organization Registered under Non-Organizations Act, 2002 in 29th March, 2008, with Registration NO.OONGO/00453.

Ssrd-Tanzania believes that development in any place of the world depends on proper utilization of the available resources. In areas where people can’t utilize properly the resources is almost always strike by poverty. Ignorance and burden of diseases are the indicators of poverty in these areas and elsewhere. Education is an important aspect to the development of any individual and any nation.  Also education plays an important role in the health sector especially in prevention of the communicable diseases. 

The rationale for establishing Ssrd - Tanzania is centered at facilitation processes that lead to a creation of an environment in which information and communication on and about poverty, education, health and environmental protection is directed at the empowerment of communities for sustainable development in rural societies in Tanzania.
