Building Community Action to Child Rights Access, Care, Protection, and Development

This project strengthened the capacity of communities in Morogoro Municipality and Mvomero District to protect and promote the rights of children. By actively engaging a wide range of community members, including parents, caregivers, local leaders, and service providers, the project created a more supportive and protective environment for children. Through a series of targeted workshops, training sessions, and community dialogues, stakeholders were empowered with the knowledge and skills needed to advocate for children’s rights and effectively address issues such as abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

The project also facilitated the development and strengthening of local child protection committees, ensuring a coordinated and responsive network to safeguard children’s well-being. By the conclusion of the project, these efforts had fostered a culture of vigilance and care within the communities, ensuring that children’s rights were respected and that their physical, emotional, and social development were prioritized. This comprehensive approach laid a strong foundation for the continued protection and support of children in Morogoro Municipality and Mvomero District.
