When a mother is lost, a community rises. 💛

Some of the babies we serve lost their mothers at birth. Without formula, their families face hard choices, like cow's milk a newborn's body can't handle, or placing a baby in an orphanage.

Through Rise Together (formally known at Maisha Matters), we provide formula, monitoring and support so these babies can grow up at home, surrounded by grandmothers, aunties and dads who love them.

Keeping families together. That's the heart of it.

We recently got to visit a family we've known for years.

Their twin girls first came to us as tiny babies struggling with malnutrition. After our nutrition program, they spent about two years at our ECD center before graduating and starting school.

The girls were still at school when we arrived, so we waited. We weren't leaving without seeing them! 😊

When they walked in, our hearts were so full. Healthy, happy, full of energy, and just a little shy.

We're so proud of their mom. Her love and determination got them here. We just got to walk beside her.

This is what happens when a child gets the right support at the right time. There are more little ones waiting for that same start.

Every number here is a child or a family we know by name. 💛

In 2025, together we: 103 children received nutrition care 68 children received therapeutic food at Handeni hospital 620 moms and caregivers trained 30 children grew at our ECD center 27 students sponsored through school 3 babies kept with their families instead of going to orphanages

Thank you for being part of every one of these.

When we support a child, we support the person caring for them too.

At our nutrition clinics, moms and caregivers learn together about:

Breastfeeding and infant feeding
Nutritious foods for growing kids
Hygiene and sanitation
Child growth and development
Signs a child might need extra help

In 2025, 620 mothers and caregivers were trained through our programs. That knowledge goes home with them and stays in their families for years to come. 💛

When we first met him, he was a year and a half old and weighed just 4.65 kg. He was severely malnourished and facing serious health challenges. Even with nutrition support, he struggled to gain weight, so our team took him to a specialist. That's where we learned he has a hole in his heart.

With the right medical care, good nutrition and close monitoring, Shuaka is moving forward. His hair is growing. He's making more sounds. He's a little brighter and more engaged every time we see him.

His next big goal: reaching 9 kg so he can have heart surgery. Every nutrition package helps him get there.

And his mom? She smiles again. She has hope again.

Progress doesn't always come fast. Sometimes it looks like new sounds and a little more strength, and we'll celebrate every bit of it. Thank you for standing with Shuaka and his family.

At our ECD center, learning looks a lot like play. And that's on purpose.

Kids learn through songs, stories, games, and the friendships they build with each other. They also get a nutritious meal every day and loving care from our team.

In 2025, 30 children grew at our center, and we saw real progress in speech, social skills and school readiness. Parents also feel confident leaving their little ones with us, which means they can work and start small businesses.

A safe place to play is where a strong start begins. 🧸

Polio vaccination day at the ECD center 💉💛

Today our little ones got their polio vaccines, thanks to the government social and health department team who came out to the center. Healthy kids, protected kids, ready to learn and play.

Thank you to everyone who showed up for them today.

We have new Friday friends! 🌱

This month, students from UWC started visiting our ECD center every Friday for an hour and a half. They draw, play games, do crafts, and bring so much energy and joy with them. Our kids look forward to it all week.

They've even planted trees together, little hands in the dirt, learning early what it means to care for the world around them.

There's a saying: "Train them while they are young." Moments like this build curiosity, kindness and confidence that stay with a child as they grow.

Thank you, UWC students, for sharing your time with our kids. And thank you to everyone whose support keeps this a place where children get to simply be children.

Some of the biggest changes we see don't happen overnight. They happen in small moments.

A little one taking confident steps. A mom learning a new way to make a nourishing meal for her baby. A family getting help during a hard season.

That's what September looked like for our team in Tanzania. Our ECD center stayed a safe, happy place for children to learn, play, eat well and grow. Our nutrition team kept showing up for families, week after week.

None of it happens alone. Thank you for walking with us. 💛

One clinic day gave us three new babies starting their recovery, two babies getting stronger, Glory teaching porridge, and a mama teaching her neighbors in her own language.

That's what our nutrition program looks like on the ground. It focuses on the first 1,000 days of a child's life, and it works because we keep coming back.

That's the idea behind Roots & Wings, our monthly giving circle. Steady support means Frida and the team can say yes to every baby a nurse points our way. If you've been thinking about going deeper with us, this is a good week to join. 🧡
