Save the Children is calling for urgent action to strengthen child protection systems in Tanzania following a series of recent cases of violence, abuse, and exploitation against children reported across the country. The organisation warns that these incidents are not isolated tragedies but indicators of broader systemic gaps that continue to put children at risk. Save the Children urges government institutions, law enforcement agencies, community leaders, parents, teachers, and the public to work together to prevent violence, ensure justice for affected children, and create safe environments where every child can grow up free from fear, abuse, and harm.

For years, Aisha*, a 14-year-old girl in Zanzibar, missed several days of school every month due to challenges managing her menstrual health. Through the SWASH project, funded by The Big Heart Foundation, she received menstrual hygiene education, reusable sanitary pads, and access to improved gender-sensitive school facilities. Today, Aisha* attends school with confidence, no longer missing lessons, while thousands of other children across Zanzibar are also benefiting from a safer and more supportive learning environment.

In 2025, progress for children in Tanzania didn’t come easy, but it happened where it matters most.

Should local organizations really be trusted with major funding? For many, the answer has long been uncertain and for groups like ZAPHA Plus from Zanzibar, that uncertainty has meant doors quietly closing despite years of impact on the ground. But something is beginning to shift. Behind the scenes, a different approach is challenging old assumptions, turning doubt into confidence and unlocking opportunities that once felt out of reach. What changed and what does it reveal about the real potential of local organizations?

More than 130,000 refugees and asylum-seeking children living near Tanzania’s border with Burundi could lose access to education and all essential services in coming weeks due to an accelerated repatriation programme.

What happens when violence becomes normal, hidden behind culture, fear, and silence? Across Tanzania, too many children grow up carrying pain no one sees and stories no one hears. It’s time to confront what’s happening behind closed doors and spark a conversation that refuses to stay silent.
