VOH Mwanza (Tanzania)

VOH Mwanza opened in January 2012. We care for over 1,100 children and employ over 70 Tanzanians. Our centre is located in Nyegezi, a suburb 20 minutes outside of Mwanza city.

The Nyegezi community is large, and many people who live in the area work in downtown Mwanza because rent is typically cheaper in Nyegezi. The community is varied in terms of need. Some are doing reasonably well financially, but at the same time, many are very poor and struggling to meet their basic needs.

The children in our programs are selected by our Child Welfare Committee in cooperation with local community leaders. They come from difficult backgrounds, and some have lost one or both of their parents. Many come from impoverished homes, and some suffer from chronic medical conditions. By helping the children, we are helping the entire family.
