Childreach Tanzania
is a locally registered charity based in Moshi, Kilimanjaro Region. We operate
at grassroots level, working in partnership with government and local
communities to implement sustainable, community-led initiatives. Our work is built around long term goals to ensure children realize their rights in education,
health and child protection.
Education
is one of the best tools that can take a nation from poverty to prosperity. Childreach
Tanzania focuses on primary education development by improving learning
environment, implementing right-based projects, school farming and advocating
for the initiation and improvement of school feeding programmes which aim to
achieve increased school academic performance, increased enrolment and
attendance rates, improvement in pupils’ health status and decreased drop-outs.
In the community, we focus on using “agents of change” who will steer
positive behavior change in areas of education, health and child protection.
Our
Vision is a world where all children have the
opportunity to unlock their full potential in life.
Our
Mission is to improve children’s access to
healthcare, education and child protection, to restore children’s rights, to empower children to create positive
change, to establish a global movement of child rights supporters and to use our global voice
to influence others to act.
In partnership with their international partner
WFP, Childreach Tanzania will be implementing the nutrition component (result
field 3) of the Maisha Bora programme. Childreach Tanzania will carry out a
variety of activities, including sensitization campaigns
on nutrition, hygiene and the prevention and treatment of diarrhea and HIV;
nutrition education projects at schools; introducing vegetable gardens and construction of water harvesting tanks at local schools; and
capacity building of the districts on managing nutrition interventions and preparation of plans and budgets for nutrition.
