PROJECT CONTEXT
Arusha, a city with a dual face of development and poverty, struggles with high levels of family dysfunction, low household income, and poor living conditions. Vulnerable children and women are the most affected. Our programs target children and their families from squatter settlements around Arusha, beginning with the Sanawari area.
