Our achievements

RCA team with government officials
Improving policies

We developed National Guidelines on Child Reintegration with the Tanzania government and UNICEF to ensure safe family reunions across the country.

Leading the way

We have become the leading organisation in Tanzania on matters relating to street-connected children and are regularly consulted by government and other NGOs.

Strengthening families

Our rate for children remaining at home after family reintegration has risen from 50% when we started in 2010 to 85% in 2024.

Driving change

We have secured justice for children, succeeding in challenging the impunity with which children on the streets were abused and helping to secure convictions of offenders.

Meet Shufaa

“School is my safe haven. It’s where I can learn, grow and make friends.”

Shufaa was just 10 years old when, abused and neglected by her stepmother, she ran away. After spending time on the streets, we were able to trace her mother and support them to be reunified. We also helped Shufaa to return to education and provide school supplies. Today, with the support, nurture and love of a family, Shufaa is thriving. She now wakes up feeling excited to be home and is working hard at school. Watch the video above to see how we are empowering children like Shufaa to feel hopeful about their futures and reach their full potential.
