Building Bridges to a Sustainable Retirement
Sustaining Dignity, Crafting Futures
Welcome to Aged Sunshine Tanzania (AST), an NGO in Arusha dedicated to empowering elderly citizens. Since 2015, we have created a supportive community where seniors, including those living alone or with disabilities, can thrive through self-reliant projects.
At our center, we organize members into groups for activities like carpentry, handcrafts, and Maasai dressmaking, with plans to add dressmaking and welding.
Join us in creating golden opportunities for our golden years.
