Empowering Young Single Mothers at Mtoni Centre 💪🏽🌱

Young single mothers at the Caritas DSM Mtoni Centre are being empowered economically through a project funded by Manos Unidas.

The women receive seed capital to support their businesses, together with financial literacy training that helps them manage their income and build a culture of weekly savings. 💰📈

They have also accessed loans to expand and develop their businesses, creating opportunities for increased income and improved livelihoods.

Through financial knowledge, savings, and access to capital, Caritas DSM is supporting these women to build stronger and more sustainable futures for themselves and their families.

Empowerment begins with opportunity, knowledge, and the confidence to grow. 🤝

🚨 Raising Awareness to Prevent Human Trafficking

The GAD Eastern Zone Coordinators recently conducted awareness-raising activities on human trafficking in Singida, reaching two schools and one parish.

🏫 Sabasaba Primary School
🏫 St. Bernard Secondary School
⛪ One Parish

The awareness sessions aimed to equip students and community members with knowledge about the risks and dangers of human trafficking, how to identify potential situations of exploitation, and the importance of speaking up and seeking help when necessary.

📢 Awareness is a powerful tool in prevention. By educating children, young people, families, and communities, we can strengthen collective efforts to protect vulnerable people from trafficking and exploitation.

Together, let us raise awareness, protect our children, and stand united against human trafficking. 🤝

🎉 A Remarkable VICOBA Achievement for Togeza Kola Group! 🎉

Congratulations to the Togeza Kola Group for successfully completing their third VICOBA savings cycle! 👏🏾

During their share-out, group members celebrated a total savings of TZS 42,542,500, a significant increase from TZS 23,386,000 recorded at the end of their 2024–2025 cycle.

📈 What made the difference?
The increase was achieved through the members' commitment to increasing both the value of their shares and the number of shares purchased.

This achievement demonstrates the power of collective saving, financial discipline, and economic empowerment. It is a great example of how VICOBA groups can help communities strengthen their financial capacity and create better opportunities for their families.

👏🏾 Congratulations, Togeza Kola Group! Keep saving, investing, and growing together!

From One Goat to a Growing Herd! 🐐🌱

Through the “Give One, Get One Goat” scheme under the Integrated Rural Development Project in Kisarawe, beneficiaries are being supported to improve livestock keeping and strengthen their livelihoods.

A livestock officer recently provided vaccination to a project beneficiary, helping protect the goats from diseases and maintain a healthy herd.

Beneficiaries who have followed good livestock-keeping practices are now seeing an encouraging increase in the number of goats. This growth is a reflection of how proper animal care, knowledge, and community-based support can contribute to sustainable livelihoods.

🐐 Healthy animals. Growing herds. Stronger livelihoods.

Caritas Dar es Salaam continues to empower communities in Kisarawe through sustainable agriculture, livestock development, economic empowerment, and improved household resilience.

📚🛡️ Empowering Students to Stand Against Human Trafficking

Caritas DSM conducted anti-human trafficking awareness training in schools across Kisarawe District, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to recognize, prevent, and report human trafficking.

Through interactive learning sessions, students explored their rights, identified common trafficking tactics, and learned how to protect themselves and support others who may be at risk.

Education is one of the most powerful tools in preventing exploitation. Together with schools and local communities, we are building a future where every child is safe, informed, and empowered.

Together, we can end human trafficking.

💧 A New Source of Hope for Kola Hamlet!

Caritas DSM proudly commissioned a newly constructed water well in Kola Hamlet, Masaki Ward, Kisarawe District, bringing safe and clean water closer to the community.

This important milestone will improve access to clean water, promote better health and sanitation, and reduce the burden of travelling long distances to collect water.

We are grateful to the community, local leaders, and all partners who made this achievement possible. Together, we are creating healthier, stronger, and more resilient communities.

Clean water changes lives.
