Hekima was founded in 2014 and has since moved from Mwanza to Bukoba, Kagera region. It became apparent to us that this region in Northern Tanzania is in dire need of support for vulnerable groups but has widely flown under the radar of authorities. Hence we changed locations back in 2018.
Our Mission is to empower children by advocating child rights through education, training, psychological support, capacity building and policy enforcement.
Our Method
Focused on preventing, rescuing and transforming the lives of children living on the streets (PRT) to reduce exploitation, violence and poverty.
