Save the Children Tanzania, in partnership with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, has launched an innovative and scalable solution: “Adopt a Child Care Centre”
This public-private partnership calls upon visionary businesses, philanthropists, faith-based organizations, diaspora members, and individuals to sponsor and sustain Child Care Centres across Zanzibar. These centres serve as safe, nurturing spaces where children can learn through play, receive nutritious meals, access early health screening, and benefit from the care of trained professionals all aligned with the globally recognized Nurturing Care Framework.
The early years of a child’s life are a powerful window of opportunity. Yet for many children in Zanzibar, this promise remains unmet.
While the foundations of lifelong health, learning, and wellbeing are built before the age of five, thousands of children across Zanzibar continue to miss out on essential Child Care Centre services. Particularly underserved children aged 2 to 5, those too old for infant health programs and too young for formal schooling. This critical gap leaves them vulnerable, stunting their potential before it’s even had a chance to grow.
To address this, Save the Children Tanzania, in partnership with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, has launched an innovative and scalable solution:

Why It Matters
Adopting a Child Care Centre is not simply about funding a facility, it’s about transforming lives. These centres:
Create opportunity for children from low-income families to thrive;
Enable mothers, especially those from vulnerable households to engage in livelihoods while their children are cared for;
Offer local employment for trained caregivers;
Foster a generation of healthy, educated, and empowered youth ready to contribute to their communities.
Save the Children ensures each centre is designed to meet comprehensive quality standards and reflects the needs and strengths of the local community. Whether established within bustling market spaces or village centres, every adopted facility becomes a symbol of hope, dignity, and shared progress.
