What We Do
Family Preservation
Poverty is never a good enough reason for a child to live in an orphanage. With the support of our big-hearted donors, TST’s Family Preservation Program helps parents to build sustainable businesses to keep kids at home, with their families, where they belong.
Residential Care
For children unable to live at home (either due to a temporary crisis like illness or death of a parent, or due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment), TST provides family-style residential care based on best practices for children while our team works to find long term solutions.
Community Services
TST also supports the entire community through subsidised daycare, a microfinance VICOBA (Village Community Bank), weekend tutoring, and a metalwork training program for young adults.
Families and Futures Coalition
The problems with care of orphaned and vulnerable children in Tanzania are larger than our local community. The Families and Futures Coalition of Tanzania, led by TST, is a network of organizations from throughout the country, working together to develop best practices, fund effective programs, cooperate for scarce resources, and advocate for change across the sector.
