Beacon Research & Development agency
he agency is a youth led organization formed by young christians who share a strong vision for the development of the country of Tanzania. The founders of the organization met in Daystar University, Kenya. In May 2008 they together with other co-founders from outside the university agreed on forming the organization with the aim of fulfilling their passion in terms of development, use their expertise and further their experience in the areas of research, missions and development.

The agency deliberated on adopting these efforts so that they can be undertaken by the agency as opposed to an individual. The agency has since then being successfully planning on projects and programs that it wants to undertake in the future, awaiting its certification by the government.
