The funding aims to enhance education, health, and environmental conservation, with projects including a new gold market and infrastructure improvements at local schools and health facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania. <\/strong> <\/span>BARRICK Bulyanhulu, through Twiga Minerals Corporation, has pledged 900m\/- to fund development projects in Nyang\u2019hwale District Council this year, signalling a deeper push by the mining sector into local economic transformation.<\/p>\n<p>The pledge, according to a statement issued to the Daily News yesterday, states that a significant portion of the fund is earmarked for the education sector, addressing critical infrastructure gaps.<\/p>\n<p>Nyang\u2019hwale Council Chairperson John Isack said after the signing ceremony that the funds are not just numbers on a page, but essential lifelines for sectors including health, education, governance and environmental conservation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are focusing on projects that matter most to our people,\u201d Mr Isack said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the construction of a new gold market to beekeeping initiatives in Miyenze Forest, these projects are designed to create a self-sustaining economy for our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twiga Minerals Corporation, a partnership between the government and Barrick Mining Corporation, is poised to deliver direct benefits from the country\u2019s natural resources, with plans to construct the district gold market under phase one.<\/p>\n<p>Barrick Bulyanhulu\u2019s Environment and Community Relations Manager Agapiti Paul said the market is a gamechanger for the local economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gold market will be a major source of income, adding value for small-scale miners and acting as a catalyst for other wealth-generating activities,\u201d Mr Paul said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the statement, the fund would be directed to the construction of staff housing and a new water well at Iyenze Secondary School, alongside the delivery of 240 beds to dormitories at Bukwimba, Busolwa and Kenegele secondary schools. Also, New Sengerema Primary School is set to receive new desks and teachers\u2019 furniture.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the classroom, the funds will tackle urgent community needs. This includes completing water and electricity infrastructure at Mwabui Dispensary and excavating a livestock watering hole in Ng\u2019wasabuka Village, a vital resource for local herders.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Barrick Bulyanhulu provided 1.75bn\/- in Corporate Social Responsibility funding, which significantly improved social services and livelihoods throughout the district.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership between Bulyanhulu and Nyang\u2019hwale is increasingly seen as a model for responsible mining, where corporate investment is closely aligned with the government\u2019s broader development agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulyanhulu mine, operated by Barrick Gold, has been a significant player in Tanzania&#8217;s mining sector since its establishment. The mine has contributed to local economies through various corporate social responsibility initiatives, focusing on education and infrastructure development. The partnership between Barrick and local governments aims to create sustainable economic growth and improve living standards for communities affected by mining activities. This recent pledge marks a continued commitment to local development and responsible mining practices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Tanzania<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know Barrick Bulyanhulu, through Twiga Minerals Corporation, has committed 900 million Tanzanian shillings to support development projects in Nyang\u2019hwale District.
