Responsible Wealth is a national network of businesspeople, investors and affluent Americans who are concerned about deepening economic inequality and are working for widespread prosperity. Our three primary areas of work are tax fairness, corporate responsibility and living wages. We are leaders in business, community, government, philanthropy, academia and finance. We are among the wealthiest 5% of Americans, the primary beneficiaries of the robust growth of the American economy. We are united by our common concern that despite a booming economy, many are not sharing in the prosperity.

Founded in 1997, Responsible Wealth is affiliated with United for a Fair Economy (UFE), a national non-profit devoted to putting a spotlight on the dangers of excessive inequality of income and wealth in the United States.

Our work is focused on four areas:

We advocate fair taxes.
We support a living wage for all.
We call for greater corporate accountability.
We promote broadened asset ownership for all Americans.
We hope you’ll join us in our work!

The Tanzania Association of Non Governmental Organizations TANGO has been in existence since 1988. The organization started with an initial membership of 22 founder organizations. TANGO has over the year continued to attract new members each year.

Like a tree during the fall TANGO has at times experienced “membership fatigue” which is characterized by some members dropping out of active participation and other new members taking up the active participationCurrently TANGO has a membership of total of 620 NGOs, most of which are regional and district networks, that have members in the regions of 50 plus. This makes the TANGO membership by proxy to be around 1500 NGOs.

It is against the above stated background that TANGO is said to be the largest and long-standing voluntary and self-organized national umbrella of Tanzanian NGOs.

TANGO has continued to pursue its initial goals of unifying the NGO sector and creating an enabling environment, by lobbying for a friendly NGO Act.

The mission of the Association is to play a supportive role to the Government Family Planning Programme, information and service provision, and to venture into the introduction of sexual health programmes in areas considered too sensitive by the Government; instituting quality of care programmes and piloting innovative approaches to sexual and reproductive health.

Tanzania FPA operates a large community-based programme as one way of improving access to services and bridging the gap between awareness and practice. UMATI aims to improve its services by including counselling for HIV/STD and post abortion, infertility investigations and minor clinical tests, – cervical swabs and pap smear tests.

The UNHCR asked UMATI to provide family planning services for the large Rwandan refugee community. They carried out a needs assessment mission in Ngara which found that women refugees were desperately looking for FP services, due to the hazardous conditions for giving birth, and as they had become aware of the services in Rwanda. It was found that male refugees were opposed to family planning because they wanted to replace family members who had died. UMATI decided to conduct short courses in Family Planning Clinical Services to workers of NGO’s, provide contraceptives to all other NGO clinics and run a model clinic which will be referral and training centre.
