About TASAI
Our story, our purpose
Every association begins with a need; ours began with a longing. TASAI exists so that no Tanzanian student in Indonesia ever has to begin the journey alone.
Our story
A home away from home
Tanzanian students arriving in Indonesia, pursuing engineering, medicine, economics or Islamic studies in cities scattered across seventeen thousand islands, often found themselves thousands of kilometres from home, navigating a new language, culture and academic system alone.
TASAI was born so that no Tanzanian student would ever have to begin that journey alone again. Formally constituted in 2025 and headquartered at the Embassy of the United Republic of Tanzania in Jakarta, TASAI is a home away from home, a community anchored in unity, brotherhood, equality, solidarity and accountability.
We believe that discipline and integrity are the foundation of an education that truly serves society, and that success is achieved by putting unity, kinship and love first.
Our motto
"One Voice, One Community"
