Tanzania Case Studies: Grace Saneth and Maria Mbise 04 Apr 2007
"My name is Grace Saneth. I come from Karatu, but I have been living with my mother at Unga Limited in Arusha. We moved from Karatu after my father died and our uncles became very rude to our mother and forced her out of our home and took everything that belonged to our father. We had nowhere to go and my mother decided me together with my two siblings move to Arusha town." [more]

Tanzania Micro-Credit Project Update 21 Nov 2006
This is AfCiC Tanzania's own run and managed project, supporting 150 women with micro-credit loans. It is the one project that has fully exposed us to the root causes of children's suffering against their background. With the micro-credit project, we have been able to interact fully with some parents and relatives of poor children who end up in the streets due to acute poverty in their homes. It has helped us appreciate the background of the children and be much more focused in trying to support the same children through their parents and relatives within their community set-up. Up to a total of 600 children within a family environment are benefiting from this project. This project is intentionally meant to curb the rising number of children running to the streets due to biting poverty in their families. It is relatively cheap, reaches a larger group of children and their families and more sustainable. [more]
