Street Connected
There are an estimated 437,500 street children in Tanzania. Many live on the street because of the violence and abuse they suffered at home. In Bukoba there are nearly 200 boys living on the streets, where they lack access to basic needs, education and are at risk of falling victim to violence. In this harsh reality, The project aims to provide first aid, psychological help, access to education, as well as protection for children and youth.
Hekima's social workers frequently visit the streets to keep track of new arrivals and the living conditions of the other boys. We also host weekly football matches for recreational activities.
Adolescent Girls & Young Women
This program is dedicated to empowering adolescent girls and young women through education, skills development, and leadership opportunities. We create clear pathways for girls to return to school or engage in vocational training, equipping them with the tools needed for a self-reliant and dignified future.
The program integrates education on girls' rights, abuse prevention, and personal responsibility, while also building confidence, entrepreneurship, business skills, and economic literacy. Through girl-centered dialogues and community engagement sessions, we foster open communication, reduce stigma, and bridge the gap between rights-holders and duty-bearers.
By promoting sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), nurturing leadership, and providing safe spaces for girls to lead, this program creates a supportive, inclusive environment where adolescent girls and young women can thrive both socially and economically.
