Miss Tanzania Flaviana Matata, model turned philanthropist, has launched the Flaviana Matata Foundation (FMF), a new foundation for girls and women in Dar es Salaam.
The strikingly beautiful model, who has worked with Arise, Dazed and Confused magazines, Top Shop, Vivienne Westwood and who is an African Angel for the Diamond Empowerment Fund, launched the foundation to improve the lives of young girls and women who are struggling in Tanzania.
The non profit was also launched days after Flaviana was signed to Sight Model Management in New York and is also a tribute to her mother who perished when the MV Bukoba sank in Lake Victoria on May 21, 1996. Over 800 lives were lost in the tragedy, one of Africa’s worst maritime disasters.
