WEDAC is a company limited by guarantee registered on 26th June 2000 under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 212) of the laws of Tanzania. With its headquarters in Monduli district, WEDAC was incorporated to take over the operations formally carried out by Monduli Rural Credit Scheme for Women (MRCSW) an institution started by Monduli District Council in 1993 with the objective to meet the credit needs of rural women in Monduli District.

In June 1995 the MRCSW ownership moved from the district council to a community based NGO called Komoloniki Integrated Development Organisation (KIDO) and in 1997 a DANIDA consultancy carried out an appraisal of the project proposal for the second phase of the credit scheme and recommended a legal incorporation of a new entity separating the credit scheme from KIDO, and thus the incorporation of WEDAC as a company limited by guarantee. WEDAC has since then widened the scope of its geographical coverage to include other areas outside Monduli including Hanang and Mbulu Districts of Manyara Region.
