The Salesians in Tanzania, also known as the Salesians of Don Bosco, are a Catholic religious order dedicated to education, youth development, and community outreach. Established in Tanzania, they have played a significant role in the country’s social and educational landscape.
The Salesians of Tanzania have a rich history dating back to their arrival in the country, which can be traced to the mid-20th century. Their mission is deeply rooted in the teachings and principles of Saint John Bosco, who advocated for the holistic development of young people through education and spiritual guidance. Over the years, the Salesians have expanded their presence in various regions of Tanzania, including Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, and Iringa, establishing schools, orphanages, and vocational training centers.
