Salim Turky Foundation
Giving Back Is Part of the Business.
The Salim Turky Foundation carries our founder's belief that a business is only as successful as the community around it. It invests in education, healthcare, youth and community empowerment to improve lives throughout Tanzania.
Our founder's legacy
A foundation built on a lifetime of quiet generosity.
Long before it carried his name, Salim Turky's giving was personal — school fees paid, treatment covered, families supported without announcement. The Foundation formalises that instinct so it can continue at scale, funded by the group he built and run with the same standards of care and accountability.
Every programme is designed with local partners, measured by real outcomes, and delivered where the need is greatest.
What we support
Where the Foundation works.
Education
Scholarships, school support and learning materials that keep Tanzanian children in classrooms and open doors that would otherwise stay closed.
Healthcare
Medical camps, subsidised treatment and support through the group's hospital network, so quality care reaches families who need it most.
Community Empowerment
Practical support for local initiatives — from small enterprise to neighbourhood infrastructure — designed with the communities they serve.
Youth Development
Skills training, mentorship, sport and internships that prepare young Tanzanians for real opportunity in a growing economy.
Social Responsibility
Emergency relief, food support and welfare programmes delivered quietly and consistently, in the spirit of our founder.
Improving Lives Nationwide
Work that reaches beyond Zanzibar into mainland Tanzania, guided by one measure: are people genuinely better off?
