 T
he financial year 2022 has
been a busy one for the Board,
we have continued to offer
governance and strategic
oversight to World Vision Tanzania, so
as to enhance the optimal operation
and performance of the organisation
by visiting Area Programs, meeting with
children, individual farmers and groups
to learn and listen them as they share
stories of life transformation. This was
done jointly with our sister company
Vision Fund Tanzania leadership.
The stories of transformation are proof of
the commitment and generosity to the
government of Tanzania, the European
Union Commission, Irish Aid, GAC
(Global Affairs Canada), KOICA (Korea
International Corporate Agency) and
MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Japan,
sponsors and community volunteers for
making all these achievements possible.
We are thankful to God for the grace

As we are continuing with the
implementation of our five years
strategy for the period of 2021-2025,
THE BOARD
we are ensuring that the organization’s
operations are evidence of its Christian
identity and calling with humility and
8
boldness. Our staff have empowered girls
and boys to press for change in their own
communities, amplifying their voices.
Our Christian faith demands we work to
ensure each girl and boy achieves their
truly unique and God given potential in
life.
We are calling all Tanzanians of good will,
individuals, corporates and foundations
to rally around this noble cause of serving
the children of Tanzania. Support World
Vision’s local resource development
initiative to enhance Sponsorship,
Education, Water and Sanitation, Health
and Nutrition, Humanitarian and
Emergency Relief for the vulnerable
communities we serve.
We will continue to pray and trust
that this same bounty of God’s grace
would be extended so that World Vision
Tanzania would continue to relentlessly
bring hope to children and build their
future.

ear friends, it’s incredibly
inspiring for us to think through
what we have accomplished
in the past year, together.
We experienced tremendous progress
toward the realization of our strategy.
This year alone 1,287,413 children
benefited from integrated programs in
education, children spiritual nurturing,
end child marriage campaign, health
and nutrition, resilience and livelihood
without forgetting the critical one of
water, sanitation, and hygiene.
The year 2022 marked the second year
in the implementation of World Vision
Tanzania’s Country Strategy 2021-
2025; To strengthen the government’s
effort towards ensuring that no child
dies from preventable disease, WVT
contributed over 8 million Mebendazole
and Albendazole tablets, worth over $
385,000 for the country’s deworming
campaign
In implementing our campaign to end
child marriage and pregnancy, this year
we have given 38,765 primary school
children a chance to express their
opinion on the causes, effects and what
should be done in efforts to prevent
child marriage and pregnancy through
the Essays Competition in 540 primary
schools scattered in 27 districts.
Our humanitarian and emergency
relief response programme continues
to provide food to 129,785 Burundian
refugees in Kigoma region. This year
we have also responded to drought by
supporting school feeding program to
110 primary schools benefiting 56,986
children. None of these work would
have been possible without the steady
support of Tanzania government and our
donors. Your confidence in our efforts
made a difference in the lives of millions
of people. Thank you.
I am proud of our progress towards
making our workplace and those of our
partner’s safe for any employee and those
we engage with in the communities;

ideas on ending
child marriage and
pregnancy at their
home in Nyololo.

THE GIRLS ARE

TAKING OVER
These are the words of the first winner of the Essay Writing
Competition on Child Marriage and Pregnancy, Genoveva
Mwakiwaja (12) from Jangwani primary school, located in
Mufindi district, Nyololo ward.
“What attracted me to participate in essay
competition is the problem of school dropouts
because of early pregnant and child marriage.
This is what prompted me to write my essay.”
Her participation came after the announcement of the
essay competition that was organized by World Vision
Tanzania in collaboration with the President’s Office -
Regional Administration and Local Government. The
competition was part of it takes a world to end child
marriage campaign run by World Vision Tanzania.
A total of 20,195 girls and 18,570 boys from 554 primary
schools in 27 districts of 12 regions participated in the
essay writing competition whose theme was the long
and short terms effects of child marriage and early
pregnancy on Children wellbeing.

14
The competition started at schools where teachers prepared
topics on Child Marriage and Pregnancy because it was not
part of the syllabus. To explain this Haulelia Mwatoi, Swahili
teacher at Jangwani primary school narrates:
“We don’t have a topic that talks about the issues of
childhood pregnancies. I had to prepare something. I started
reading books, journals and magazines in the internet. I also
involved my colleagues and prepared a special topic on the
sources and effects of marriage and childhood pregnancies.”
One of the objectives of the essay writing competition is to
create awareness, as Haulelia prepared the topic, she also
learned new things on the process as she explains:
“When I was looking for the sources and perpetrators of
childhood pregnancies, for the first time I learned about
parents who sexually abuse their own biological daughters.
I also learned about stereotype behaviors of people who
believed that sexual intercourse with minors would make
them rich. At my age, I never thought there are parents who
would do that.”
In order to ensure that students get enough time to
understand the challenges of Child Marriage and Pregnancy,
essay questions were distributed in schools seven days
before the actual competition day. Genoveva involved her
mother to explore more on the questions, as she explains:
“Apart from what I learned from my teacher, I also talked to
my mother. She helped me to get new ideas that enabled
me to write my essay. I didn’t know that some parents are
driven by getting wealth from their daughters’ dowries, my
mother told me about it,”
15
Moreover, Genoveva learned false customs and peer
pressure are also causes of child marriage. The essay
competition has increased her awareness on reporting
of child abuse mechanism, as she explains:
“If it happens that I am forced to get married, I will
report it to our village executive officer or to the police
gender desk.”
Genoveva emerged the first winner at ward level,
third winner at the district level, while at the regional
she was the first again. She therefore competed for
the national level together with other 10 winners
from different regions, emerging the overall national
champion and received an award of $ 500 which she
planes to purchase an ipad
“I didn’t expect to become the winner, only God knows.
I worked hard to achieve this. Thanks to World Vision
for giving us opportunity to amplify our voices through
the essay writing competition,” concludes Genoveva.
It does not mean the other seven are not winners they
are all winners and have proven to be ambassadors of
ending child marriage and pregnancy in their regions.
We are congratulating them all for being winners.

REDUCING THE BURDEN OF DROUGHT
TO MOST VULNERABLE

Pastoralist communities in the
northern region of Arusha in Tanzania,
have been suffering from periodic
weather-related stress, particularly
below-normal rainfall, resulting in
crop failures and loss of livestock
that increases economic hardship
to communities, especially women-
headed households.
One of them is Namayani Ngochicha,
a single mother of six children from
Orkejuloongishu village located in
the district of Longido. Like many
other pastoral women, she relies
on livestock and petty businesses.
Because of the prolonged period of
drought in her village, she lost ten
goats in a period of two weeks.
“I remember there was a day that
I lost two goats it was crazy. I just
walked in my livestock shed and I
found them lying down because of
hunger,” narrates Namayani.
The cost of living was high during
the drought period, she spent more
feeding her goats and experienced
low returns from her petty beans
business, as she narrates:
“I spent ten dollars per sack of corn
husks to feed my goats before the
drought started, but the costs have
gone up to twenty-three dollars,
during the drought period. I spend
all my profit and business capital to
purchase food for my children. Things
became very hard.”
It was during this time that
World Vision Tanzania through its
Ketumbeine Area Program supported
1,000 households, out of those, 291
were with 360 sponsored children.
Each household was supplied with
twenty kilos of maize flour and five
kilos of beans including Namayani’s.
The day she was supplied with food,
she had very little to sustain her
household for another day.
“It was life-saving support because
I had so little for the coming day,
receiving twenty kilos of maize flour
and five kilos of beans was helpful
and it came at the right time. “I would
have to spend dollars to buy food.
We now can eat ugali with beans at
night and porridge in the morning,”
explains Namayani.
37
Not only that her children had to walk
for more than three hours to reach
pastures, which is quite different
during the rainy season. She has
forty goats some she has inherited
from her family and others she has
bought from the returns of her beans
business.
She had lost ten goats during that
time and the district reported more
than 30,000 cattle died during the
drought period. Apart from that,
water scarcity is another challenge
facing the community but the World
Vision has dug a water charcoal dam
for animals to drink.
“Thanks to World Vision for the
support with water and food when
we most need them. We pray for
them so that they keep doing what
they are doing,” happily narrates
Namayani.
