Tanzania is located in Eastern Africa bordering the Indian Ocean, between Kenya and Mozambique. With a wide range of ethnic diversity (some 130 ethnic groups), Tanzania has a tradition of strong ethnic and religious tolerance.
Home to Africa's highest peak (Mt. Kilimanjaro), its largest lake (Lake Victoria), and some of its most spectacular topography, including the Great Rift Valley, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti – Tanzania is a popular tourist destination.
Tanzania remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Challenges faced include drought and environmental degradation, which contribute to food insecurity; lack of access to clean water and sanitation facilities, particularly in the rural areas; and a low level of knowledge among rural communities about sexual and reproductive health issues.
