A Multi-Purpose Performing Arts Center

In addition to buildings for classes, meetings, and short-term residency accommodating groups of up to 30 people, the Foundation's premises include an outstanding, multi-purpose facility for larger meetings (100-200 people), suitable for shows, theatre, chamber music, and other performing arts. The Foundation views drama and other staged productions, created for the occasion by course participants, as an integral part of the task of building leadership capacity. More broadly, an emerging nation's aspirations, values, and vision are often expressed most aptly and compellingly through its performing arts. Accordingly, this facility is also available for rental use by theatre groups and other cultural organizations in Dar es Salaam. Through this facility, as well as other events of an educational nature, the Foundation strives to make a specific contribution to the cultural life of the city, while helping the people at large to express the vision of what they hope to be.
