  • NMB Introduces Facility to Bridge Housing Deficit No Dividend As Profit
    KINONDONI ROAD, 1ST FLOOR, TOGO TOWER P.O. BOX 4441, DAR ES SALAAM-TANZANIA TEL: +255 22 266 6031 EMAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: www.optimacorporate.co.tz NMB introduces facility to bridge housing deficit NMB bank yesterday introduced a new mortgage scheme. That it expected to encourage millions of Tanzanians to take advantage of opportunity to own houses. This comes against the back drop of figures showing that Tanzania has a housing deficit of three million units. The National Housing Corporation (NHC) estimates that the country needs around 200,000 units annually worth Sh19 trillion to meet the demand. Yet, only about 15,000 units are supplied yearly. It also comes at a time when data produced by the Centre for Affordable Housing Finance (CAHF)- shows that the cost of developing a house has risen by about 30 per cent in four years despite a drop in cement prices. For instance, CAHF- a continental organization that promotes investment in affordable housing and housing finance across Africa- shows that building a two bed room housing unit with 65 square meters would cost $16,130 in 2011but the same has risen to about $20,992 as of 2015. “The Citizen, business Pg.10” No dividend as profit tumbles, reveals Swissport Swissport Tanzania has declared that there will be no dividend to shareholders after its profit tumbled in the first half of this year due to business slowdown. It said in its financial results for the period, made available yesterday that the profit has declined by 27 per cent and as a result it will not give dividend and use the funds to support further investment.

  • Halari Book Cover
    Rise and Glory History of Halari Visa Oshwals by Rati Dodhia Rise and Glory History of Halari Visa Oshwals By Rati Dodhia Halari Visa Oshwals of America © All the copyrights reserved by Rati Dodhia Published by Rati Dodhia, 2005 A.D. In memory of my parents and my wife Indu’s parents: Late Shri Lalji Khimji Shah and Shrimati Amratben Lalji Shah Late Shri Fulchand Karamshi Shah and Shrimati Deviben Fulchand Shah Who were part of the group of early pioneers who sacrificed so much for their families and the community. iv FOREWORD This book, “ History of Halari Visa Oshwals “ in English by Dr. Ratilal Dodhia, provides information about our origin, hardships our ancestors faced and how they overcame them, migration to various places, entrepreneurship and traditions. Many people have written about our origin, settlement in Halar and migration to East Africa, United Kingdom, United States of America and Canada, but this is the first comprehensive document in English. It is divided in four parts: Part I deals with the origin of Oshwals in Rajasthan, India; Part II deals with the migration of Oshwals in Cutchh; Part III deals with the migration of Oshwals from Cutchh to Halar region of Jamnagar District of State of Gujarat, India, and Part IV deals with rise and glory of Halari Oshwals since the beginning of 20th century. The Oshwal community was founded 70 years after Lord Mahavir’s nirvana (i.e. Vikram Savant 400 or 457 BC) in the city of Osiya (the name ‘Oshwal’ is derived from the name of the city), which is located about 32 miles from Jodhpur in State of Rajasthan, when some people from a warrior caste (Kashtriya) were converted to Jainism.

  • Sizing the Field
    Introduction / Pg 3 Introducing a New Frame for Trends in African Philanthropy Areas of Focus for Future African Philanthropy / Pg 7 / Pg 24 Research / Pg 32 THE FIELD SIZING SIZING THE FIELD FRAMEWORKS FOR A NEW NARRAtiVE OF AfRICAN PhilAnthROPY April 2013 This report was produced for the African Grantmakers Network (AGN) by Dalberg Research and Dalberg Global Development Advisors. The AGN committee that guided the production of the report included Halima Mahomed and Bhekinkosi Moyo from TrustAfrica. The production of the report was managed by the Southern Africa Trust. © 2013 African Grantmakers Network PRefACE Africa’s people share deep-rooted values of social solidarity, human dignity, and inter-personal connectedness. This corresponds to the Western notion of philanthropy – the desire to promote the wellbeing of others or, put simply, ‘to love people’. But in the past, we have had philanthropy done to us as Africans with little recognition that there is a vast field of philanthropic practice alive and active in Africa. The field is growing. And it is changing, with the rapid emergence of structured forms of strategic philanthropy by wealthy Africans, the success of channels for collective giving to social causes amongst increasingly urbanized communities with reduced connections to rural roots, a growing recognition of community- based practices of social solidarity, and the emergence of African associations of philanthropists, grantmakers, and other social investors. The recent economic downturn in the parts of the world that were traditionally seen as the sources of philanthropic giving coincides with good levels of sustained economic growth in Africa. Along with the extreme inequalities that this has generated, it has also propelled the emergence of the African middle class and a growing pool of super-rich African men and women – many of whom are attentive to their social responsibilities and want to somehow ‘give back’ to the communities from which they emerged.
