Income boost for struggling Tanzanians
Families living in poverty in Tanzania have increased their income up to 10 times thanks to a Plan project which has given them much-needed access to financial services.
Plan Tanzania
Plan has been working in Tanzania since 1991, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education, sanitation, livelihoods and protection.
We operate in 6 areas across Tanzania and work with 30,000 sponsored children, their families and their communities.
Currently, we are focusing on community-led total sanitation (CLTS), which inspires communities to stop open-air defecation because of its negative impact on health. So far we have introduced CLTS in over 60 villages and many of them have declared themselves ‘open defecation free’.
