More information

 

Mkombozi (meaning "liberator, emancipator" in Swahili) supports Tanzania's children and youth, including those at risk of vulnerability, through housing, education, research, advocacy, and outreach. Initially established in 1997 as a live-in residential center and safe haven for children living on the streets, Mkombozi has expanded its vision over the years. In addition to working with children already living/working on the streets, Mkombozi works to end the abuse and neglect of children, to ensure that children's rights are recognised, and to identify opportunities for intervention before a child migrates to the street. Today, Mkombozi is one of the leading child-focused agencies in northern Tanzania, working with over 1,000 children and families a year in Kilimanjaro and Arusha Regions. Mkombozi tackles the complex issues surrounding child vulnerability with a holistic and sustainable approach.
