About TAMSYA

TAMSYA, formerly known as TAMSA, is a unique independent Muslim students and youth association in Tanzania. We are dedicated to empowering students and youth from all educational levels.

Short History

The origin of TAMSYA can be traced back to the colonial Tanganyika period. During both German and British rule, education was dominated by Christian missionaries. Muslim students faced significant challenges, including being forced to take care of pigs, forbidden from practicing prayers, and not allowed to wear headscarves.

These grievances led to conflicts and the expulsion of many Muslim students, creating a gap in public employment. This necessitated the formation of an organization to demand their rights. Initially, various student organizations emerged at the institutional level, with the most notable being the Muslim Students Association of the University of Dar es Salaam (MSAUD).

In 1993, the Tanzania Muslim Students Association (TAMSA) was formed. In 2010, after changing its name to the Tanzania Muslim Students and Youth Association (TAMSYA) to include youth members and address a naming conflict with another association, the organization was officially registered.

Kuhusu TAMSYA

TAMSYA, zamani ikijulikana kama TAMSA, ni chama cha kipekee na huru cha wanafunzi na vijana wa Kiislamu nchini Tanzania. Tumejitolea kuwawezesha wanafunzi na vijana kutoka ngazi zote za elimu.

Historia Fupi

Asili ya TAMSYA inaweza kufuatiliwa hadi kipindi cha ukoloni wa Tanganyika. Wakati wa utawala wa Wajerumani na Waingereza, elimu ilitolewa zaidi na Wamishonari wa Kikristo. Wanafunzi wa Kiislamu walikabiliana na changamoto nyingi, ikiwemo kulazimishwa kutunza nguruwe, kuzuiwa kuswali, na kutopaswa kuvaa hijabu.

Mateso haya yalisababisha migogoro na kufukuzwa kwa wanafunzi wengi wa Kiislamu, na kusababisha pengo kubwa katika ajira za umma. Hili lilifanya iwe lazima kuunda shirika la kudai haki zao. Mwanzoni, mashirika mbalimbali ya wanafunzi yaliibuka katika ngazi ya taasisi, maarufu zaidi likiwa Chama cha Wanafunzi wa Kiislamu wa Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam (MSAUD).

Mnamo mwaka 1993, Chama cha Wanafunzi wa Kiislamu Tanzania (TAMSA) kiliundwa. Mwaka 2010, baada ya kubadilisha jina lake kuwa Tanzania Muslim Students and Youth Association (TAMSYA) ili kuwajumuisha vijana na kutatua mzozo wa jina na chama kingine, shirika hilo lilisajiliwa rasmi.
