Msichana thabiti is a project for girls in the age of 10-14 who are in school. The projects main aim is to help the girls develop an understanding for what is needed for a healthy life. Confidence is important for girls, as they aren’t encouraged as much as the boys. When they’re confident it is also easier to know what is good for them, and they can make decisions of themselves. It’s important for them to know how to make good choices in life, and understand what kind of consequences each decision has. One of the biggest risks for young girls is that they get pregnant or married early. There’s also a risk that they get mentally, physically or sexually abused. That’s why the project is also focusing on educating the girls on reproductive health and what their rights and responsibilities are.
mwili wangu ni mwili wangu
We have started a new and a very important programme!
We want to encourage both children in Nursery School and also the girls from the Wasiliana Project to say; No!
We are using a programme called My Body is My Body - Mwili Wangu Ni Mwili Wangu.
It is a well prepared programme that suits children from 3-10 years but also works very well in older ages.The programme brings up questions and educates in a simple way how to talk about abuse. It teaches children that nobody has the right to hurt or abuse you in any way.
This programme will empower the children so they know what to do if there is a problem. It is very important to keep it simple because, young children don't need to know all the details about abuse. But they need to know that they have the right to say No and know their boundaries. If they see or hear something, then they know who they can talk to. And they should not keep it a secret. This is something that is important for both girls and boys.
Mtoto Mwerevu
Mtoto Mwerevu project is the project for
addressing stunting in Tanzania by improving early childhood development and
reduce the prevalence of stunting among Tanzanian children aged less than 5

Wasiliana
Girl Support: the project meant to give education
access to young girls, communication and reporting skills, create and raise
their self-confidence and empower them with life skills especially sub-urban in Nyamagana district Mwanza region.Activities

Education support
Education support: is meant for the most vulnerable children and most vulnerable orphan children. Our aim of this projectis to help those who have not attend school or have drop out school. We have been providing these children with school supplies uniforms, exercise books and other equipments also creative activies at schools to engourage children, increase their confidence and help them to share things with other people.
Ceative activities meant to see and know what kind of talents kids have. By creative activities we also tried to see how vulnerable kids can get along with other kids
parent support
Parent support is linking closely to children
education support. We started this project when visiting parents living with
vulnerable children; we found out that most of the parents are in vulnerable
condition widows and people living with HIV. As a solution to this problem
parents thought they should have small business to have income and to take care
of their families. In this project we are creating parent groups to work with
also using these groups as their platform to raise their voice and share their
needs for the betterment of the children.
