When my father, Gulamabbas Dewji, started the MeTL Group in the 1970s it was merely a small trading company with a bold vision and an insurmountable commitment to providing great value products at affordable prices. Since I joined my father in the business in 1999, our company has grown in leaps and bounds to become a major economic powerhouse in East Africa. And yet we remain insatiably committed to that vision. We have developed new products, introduced new services, and invested in new technology and knowledge while continuing to offer our buyers and consumers value for money.

Over the years, the Mo Dewji Foundation has partnered with various healthcare providers and foundations to build hospitals, fund treatment, and offer free diagnostics, medication and health education. In 2022, through our partnership with Muhimbili Hospital’s Tumaini la Maisha, we have afforded high-quality cancer treatment to over 100 paediatric cancer patients.
The Mo Foundation builds wells in rural communities to ensure access to clean and safe water. The foundation’s water access program has successfully built over 20 wells across the Singida and Pwani regions, and we plan to expand the project’s reach across the country. Our wells save lives and prevent water-borne diseases, as well as empower rural women, helping them reclaim the time they spend travelling long distances to collect water multiple times a day.
The Mo Foundation Scholars Program offers low-income, high-achieving students scholarships to attend prestigious higher learning institutions across the country. 111 promising young Tanzanians from each region, including Zanzibar, will graduate from the program in 2022. Most Mo Foundation Scholars join the MeTL Graduate Development Program for hands-on technical and management training and professional mentorship, preparing them to join Tanzania’s workforce.
