Sustainable Impact, Timeless Legacy: Mkapa Foundation's Journey

“There is thought that poverty is a public policy failure: poverty is man-made by action and non-action” Late Benjamin William Mkapa

The Benjamin William Mkapa Foundation is a Trust, a non-profit organization committed to building resilient and sustainable healthcare provision systems, particularly in underserved communities. The core mission of BMF is to supplement and complement the development efforts of the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania.

BMF was founded by the Former President of the United Republic of Tanzania, the Late Benjamin William Mkapa, to contribute to a healthier, more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient society.

“Bringing Hope to the Underserved” defines our mission at its core. Through dedicated efforts, innovative solutions, and a compassionate approach, we strive to uplift communities, leaving no one behind. Join us on this journey of empowerment and positive impact as we continue to bring hope and catalyze positive change where it’s needed most.

Message from the BMF’s Chair of the Board of Trustees

Dear Partners,

As we welcome the New Year, I extend my warmest wishes to you all on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Benjamin William Mkapa Foundation.

The year ahead is a significant one for our Foundation. As custodians of the values and vision of the late President Benjamin William Mkapa, we remain committed to advancing leadership, accountability, and sustainable health outcomes for the people of Tanzania and beyond. In this spirit, we are pleased to share that in July 2026, the Foundation will host the 4th Mkapa Legacy Summit, preceded by the Human Resources for Health Conference.

This Summit will once again serve as a platform for reflection, dialogue, and action, bringing together leaders, practitioners, and partners to examine Africa’s development journey and shape solutions for the future towards health for all. We look forward to your engagement as we count down to this important convening.

As we move into the year ahead, we expect to strengthen partnerships, deepen impact, and uphold the legacy of principled leadership that continues to guide our work.

I thank you for your continued trust, collaboration, and commitment. Together, let us make the coming year one of renewed purpose and shared progress.

Dear Change Makers, Partners, and Friends of Mkapa Foundation,

As we step into this new year, we do so with gratitude, pride, and renewed determination. The year 2026 marks 20 years of the Benjamin William Mkapa Foundation, a journey that began in 2006 with a clear mission: to contribute to better health outcomes through innovative and sustainable solutions.

Over the past two decades, the Foundation has implemented impactful healthcare interventions that have reached and transformed more than 27.4million lives. Our work has strengthened health systems, supported frontline health workers, expanded access to essential services, and fostered partnerships that continue to amplify our impact.

This milestone year is an opportunity not only to celebrate how far we have come but also to reflect on the responsibility that comes with our legacy. As we look ahead, we remain committed to scaling proven interventions, embracing innovation, and working collaboratively with governments of Tanzania and other Africa region, development partners, and communities to achieve lasting change.

I extend my sincere appreciation to our Board of Trustees, partners, donors, government counterparts, and the dedicated BMF team for walking this journey with us. Your support has been central to every milestone we celebrate.

As we begin this New Year and our 20th anniversary year, I invite you to participate in the upcoming Human Resource for Health Conference leading to the 4th Mkapa Legacy Summit in July 2026. Please stay tuned for more information.

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue shaping the future of health for all.

With best wishes for a healthy and impactful year ahead,
