We connect like-minded people in communities around the globe with what is happening in rural Tanzania. People coming together, giving what they can, and making a profound impact on our world.

You have the power to make a difference. Here's your opportunity.

Red Sweater Project is composed of educators, engineers, health care professionals, designers, entrepreneurs, village leaders, film makers, web developers, investors, composers, government officials, soccer moms, artists and administrators who share their time, skills, resources, energy, and passion toward a shared goal.

We know that change happens not from one grand gesture, or solely through a massive government action, but through the combined efforts of a global community. We can make our world better if everyone plays a part. It takes just a few clicks of your mouse to change someone's life.
