Chanika Children Selter

Background

Tanzania has been facing the challenge of vulnerable children and has become an alarmingly common sight in cities around the world. Tanzania began to see the problem of vulnerable children in difficult circumstances in the late 1980’s. At the same time Convection Rights of Children (1990) came into force. Kind Heart Africa was founded in line with these Conventions. There are now some 3000-5000 street children in Dar es Salaam. The Founders of Kind Heart Africa Centre believe that all children fundamentally have the right to a happy, healthy and safe childhood.
