Maji salama si anasa, ni haki ya msingi ya kila mtoto.
Mtoto anayepata maji safi karibu na nyumbani, shuleni na katika vituo vya afya ana nafasi kubwa ya kukua akiwa na afya njema, kujifunza vizuri na kutimiza ndoto zake.
Katika Maadhimisho ya Siku ya Mtoto wa Afrika 2026, tunatoa wito wa kuongeza juhudi kuhakikisha hakuna mtoto anayebaki nyuma katika upatikanaji wa maji salama.

Transforming Lives Through VICOBA Empowerment

Hear from Tatu Mohamedi, a participant from the Wazawa VICOBA Group in Dar es Salaam, supported by TCRS in partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

Through four years of active participation in the Wazawa VICOBA Group, Tatu has made remarkable progress in her small business journey. What started as selling bananas informally by the roadside at Mabibo Sokoni has now grown into a more stable and formalized business with a dedicated selling space, allowing her to operate daily without disruption.

By accessing a loan through her VICOBA group, Tatu successfully increased her business capital from TZS 60,000 to TZS 100,000, strengthening her ability to sustain and grow her enterprise.

As a single mother and head of a household with two children, Tatu shares that the growth of her business has significantly improved her family’s living conditions, enabling her to meet essential household needs and provide better support for her children.

Looking ahead, Tatu aspires to further expand her business, reach more customers, increase her income, and strengthen her contributions and shares within her VICOBA group.

At TCRS, our mission is to empower vulnerable communities to overcome poverty, build self-reliance, and live with dignity while enjoying the God-given fullness of life.

Strengthening Child Rights Together!

TCRS is honored to participate in the Stakeholders Workshop convened by TCRF in Morogoro (28th–30th April 2026).

The three-day workshop brought together child rights stakeholders from Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar to:
✅ Integrate Environment and Climate Change (ECC) considerations into CSO reporting to the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC)
✅ Support the drafting of a CSOs Alternative Report aligned with the combined 5th, 6th, and 7th State report to the ACERWC

As an organization committed to the well-being of refugees and vulnerable children, TCRS values the power of collective advocacy. These complementary reports provide independent, evidence-based assessments that hold States accountable in implementing the African Children’s Charter.

Together, we stand for the rights and welfare of every child 🩵

Tazama tabasamu walizonazo akina mama hawa baada ya kupata mafunzo na kujengewa majiko.

Majiko haya yanatumia kuni chache, yanapika haraka, na yanatunza joto kwa muda mrefu. Tunapowawezesha akina mama kwa teknolojia hii, tunajenga jamii yenye afya na uchumi imara.

Tunatunza mazingira, tunatunza maisha!
