Tanzania Target Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our target group includes children and youth from the age four who come from families affected by extreme poverty and violence, which has often led them to be isolated and unable to function effectively in society or to make use of services and opportunities if available<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Children whose early relationships are characterised by violence often end up in a negative cycle <\/strong>causing further poverty, exposure to danger and negative life outcomes<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These children and youth are therefore marginalised and experience issues in relation to their social and emotional abilities due to their childhood experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They struggle to be involved in the community, schools, and religious places and also to receive effective support from the authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They live on the street, in squats, in shared rooms in rudimentary accommodation, or at home in extremely disadvantaged families. Many are involved in begging, petty crime and sex work. They may never have been to school or will have dropped out, usually within primary school.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
