About the Britain-Tanzania Society
BTS was founded in 1975 by Bishop Trevor Huddleston, Amon Nsekela, Roger Carter and others in the UK and Tanzania. It is a non-political, non-governmental organisation. In the UK it has formed the Tanzania Development Trust (TDT), a charity, to finance local projects.
