Background information:
47% of children in Sub Sahara Africa do not attend school Tanzania being inclusive; although Tanzanian law insists that every child between the ages of sex/seven years to fourteen should be in school or completed universal primary education (standard VII).  Here in Tanzania we have three level of education before you go to college.  Level 1 Universal Primary education that is STD 1-VII.  Level 2 post primary education (o’level) that is secondary education starting Form on (1) to Four (IV).  Then A-level (advanced secondary education) that is Form five and six.  After that a person is eligible to University or other learning professional institutions.  The main objective of the Tanzania Government’s Education and Training Policy enacted in 1995 is to increase access to education for all.  It is focusing on the equity issue with respect to all calibers of people particularly disadvantaged groups at least to access basic primary education.  That is to say a person graduated from primary school is difficult to be employed.  Therefore it is a challenge to us that formal, non-formal education and training skills should be recognized, promoted, strengthened and coordinated.
Country situation and context of the project:

Tanzania has evidenced a visible increase in number of vulnerable street children and orphans living without support.  Therefore, with whole 26 regions of Tanzania you cannot ignore the huge number of vulnerable children without homes, food, clean water or education.
Many of these children are orphans and others have been neglected by their families who are unable to care for them due to extreme poverty and diseases.  HIV/AIDS and poverty.  Due to this reason there are too many children in Tanzania who are suffering seriously with no homes and no families to care for them.  Hence cannot access high quality of basic education, eat balanced diet and obtain medical care.
TunahakiChildren Centre for Development is a local initiative art based organization which aims to rehabilitate and educate disadvantaged children living on the streets and orphans near Mount Kilimanjaro in Moshi District of Tanzania so that can take advantages of opportunities of services offered.  These go hand in hand with upholding United Nation convention on the Right of the Child and OAU Chatters that comply with Tanzanian constitution articles which provides that every person has the right to self-education and every citizen shall be free to pursue education in the field of his choice up to the highest level according to his merits and ability.
With no doubt, the children who spent their time on the streets or live without adult care are vulnerable to extreme violation of their basic rights.  They have difficulties in accessing food, health care, clothes and security/protection.  They are often physically, verbally and mentally abused on their daily lives.  Most of them have been found working as child laborers.  These include working at hazardous environments, selling fruits, working in mining, selling newspapers on the streets while other involve in commercial sex businesses.  As they reach age of youth become criminals, addicted to drugs, drug dealers and alcohols and prostitute as means of struggle for survivals.
The aim of this project is to remove vulnerable children from this environment by providing a safe at TunaHAKI Centre.  It will empower them to utilize given opportunities for vulnerable children to re-inter into formal schooling.  The education services will enable them gain necessary skills, learn their historical background and become productive members of the society.  The project will also support 26 TunaHAKI permanent rehabilitated children who are already enrolled in Government Primary Schools and other 3 boys are in Government Secondary School.  TunaHAKI targets to support 100 children.  This is due to the lesson learnt for about eight years working with vulnerable children that there are many children asking our services but we have limited resources.  Analytically, TunaHAKI centre responds about 100 children per year.
