HEKIMA
Hello and welcome!
We are an emerging NGO settled in Bukoba, Tanzania. Our focus is on the empowerment of children and adolescents suffering from exploitation, poverty, and exclusion.
Our Vision
At Hekima, we envision a society where children’s rights are protected and upheld. We want to create a community in which children can grow up free from poverty, injustice, and violence.
Our Projects
Street Children
The main initiative of the street project is to safeguard our children and adolescents living on the street by providing them with immediate help such as first aid, psychological support, and reuniting with families as much as possible.
Child Labour
The project invests serious efforts to rescue children who are suffering from illegal work and exploitation. Often children are provided with therapy for recovery and are expected to resume their studies, integrated into their families as well as provide legal assistance.
"Smile" Project
This project aims to prevent children leaving home due to economic issues or abuse. We educate them about their rights, and provide mentorship to improve their future. Hekima leaders will conduct educational sessions at local schools.
Let´s give back!
As an NGO without any government funding, any contribution from our supporters worldwide is greatly appreciated. A little goes a long way!
