During this festive season, many of you want to send a little gift to the child you sponsor. We know how meaningful these gestures are. However, sending packages directly from Europe to Tanzania is generally not recommended.
Shipping costs and customs fees often exceed the value of the gift, and the package may never arrive or could generate unexpected expenses.
No worries! You can still delight the child you sponsor without any hassle or extra cost. Just let us know what you were planning to send: we can purchase and deliver the gift locally, in a lovely package, and without delay. This way, your gesture keeps all its value and magic.
Here is an indicative price list to give you an idea:
