FOREWORD

Dear stakeholders

I am grateful to share with you the annual report of this emerging organization. Looking back

at this first year of TAI’s operations I would like to say that we have reasons to celebrate the

success we have achieved in making children and youth empowered while at school.

In today’s world the youth group is facing many hardships and for some lack of

belongingness within the society. Youth in Tanzania constitute a big chunk of the population,

yet it remains the most subjugated and marginalized due to limited opportunities for quality

education and training, viable employment and health and social services.

The government is doing well in increasing the number of youth enrolled in school. The poor

quality of education has caused graduates to miss the necessary skills to create employment

opportunities or grab the available employment opportunities.

In TAI we plan to continue working with the youth who never have been nurtured and given

opportunities to develop into a productive generation. We keep our commitment in youth

empowerment while they are still at school and recent graduates in order to contribute in

reducing reduce the unemployment problems which are increasing every year.

TAI Highlights 2013-2014

[4] TAI Annual Report 2014

On 25th September 2014 TAI celebrated its one year

anniversary, TAI started its operations in 2013, after being

registered by the Tanzania Non-Governmental act of 2002.

From the 25th September 2013 up to now TAI has been

working with different local communities by focusing on

education and health of youth and children.

In the past 12 months TAI conducted six successful events

which reached more than 1500 youths and children. With a

total of three projects that TAI has been running for the

past year, we have been able to reach children and youth

and give knowledge , skills and some donation kits that

support health. TAI runs two health projects: firstly,

conducting training events for proper hygiene

(hand washing and tooth brushing) for children, and

secondly, reproductive health and menstrual hygiene. In

the area of education TAI ran one big career day event to

inspire and motivate young people.

Throughout the past year TAI has engaged over 100 young

people, we believe in leadership, hence we create a

space for youth to give their contribution of skills,

knowledge and time to make the change in our

communities. Youth who worked with TAI are students from

local and international higher learning institutions as well as

graduates. TAI this year initiated a leadership program

for recent graduates from high schools and higher learning

institutions to foster their leadership skills empowering them

to make change in our communities as well as being able

to compete in the job market.

Through our valuable collaborations, we worked with six

organizations in the last 12 months. We worked in

collaboration with different organizations that we share

the purpose of making a change in the community. These

organizations include Cambridge Development Initiatives

(CDI), Global Platform Tanzania, Grand malt Tanzania,

Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots, Kigamboni Community

Centre (KCC) and Motomoto Adventures Co.

Usafi kwanza

Project

Jali Project

Usafi Kwanza Project for proper hygiene for children

Every year about 2.2 million children

under the age of five die because of

diarrhea and pneumonia which are

mostly caused by improper hygiene.

Diseases and poor sanitation threaten

the health of younger Tanzanians and

can lead to death at younger age, poor

performance in education, low life

expectancy and eruption of

preventable diseases.

This project provides proper hygiene

knowledge and facilities to the children

hence changing personal hygiene habits

of the next generation.

OUR IMPACT

Usafi Kwanza Project, previously known as MiMi Project as well as MiMi project, is a series of

events which brings together children from different communities for the purpose of promoting

proper hygiene

Usafi kwanza project started in 2013 as one of the first projects after TAI was officially established.

The kick off event took place during the Global Hand Washing day on October 18th 2013 at

Anlex Primary School, located in Kijichi Dar es Salaam with more than 200 children.

Working in collaboration with other organizations

such as Kigamboni Community Centre (KCC),

Global Platform Tanzania and Jane Goodall

Roots and Shoots increased our reach and

impact to more children from Kinondoni and

Temeke Districts through three successful events.

Proper Hygiene practices

Direct participants 1,490

Number of Schools 12

Youth engagement 98

In 2013 and 2014, TAI’s hygiene projects reached 1,490 children around primary schools in two

of the Dar es Salaam districts and created an impact to 12 schools. A number of 98 youth,

which included 62 locals and 36 internationals have been on board with the TAI team to cre-

Usafi Kwanza Project for proper hygiene for children

Seven (7) primary schools and more than 30 youth were involved which

led to an impact of 424 children's receiving proper hygiene practical

knowledge.

During the events, children were trained how to wash hands properly with

clean water and soap as well as proper tooth brushing practices,

facilitated by youth trainers. This will help to increase proper hygiene

behavior and lower the risk of preventable diseases for children.

From June 2014, with partnership with CDI—Cambridge Development

Initiative the project added a focus on engineering by building simple

sewage system and toilets in the informal settlement of Vingunguti Dar es

Salaam. A number of 20 toilets have been built up and connected to a

simple sewage system while 400 children's received practical hygiene

knowledge around Vingunguti area.

For the year 2013-2014, five events have been successfully carried out

at different primary schools and communities around Dar es Salaam,

impacting 1,498 children,

There were a number of

challenges faced during the

project implementation,

these includes lack of

resources such as buckets,

soups and tissues as well as

challenging bureaucratic

p r o c e d u r e s w h e n

approaching government

schools, and the limited

funds to support the project.

Therefore Usafi kwanza

project consists of proper

hygiene for children this

involves hand washing,

tooth brushing as well as

building toilets in informal

settlements. Toilet at Vingunguti settlement

Jali project for sexual and reproductive health

Many girls in Tanzania are not attending

school during their menses due to lack of

menstrual hygiene products

Increasing the knowledge about the

menstruation and how to live comforta-

bly with it, offering affordable sanitary

pads and inspiring girls to reach their

dreams are some of the ways we have

empowered girls especially in rural

schools.

OUR IMPACT

In May 2014, the Jali project team organized a trip to

Bumbuli in Tanga region to conduct a feasibility study for

the project. The team collected information within the

area of menstrual hygiene from various stakeholders

such as nurses, pharmacies, teachers, and students.

From the information we collected we confirmed that

there is a need for the project in the Bumbuli schools.

The Jali project team distributed “Binti Boxes” to students

who participated in the focus discussions. A Binti Box

contains sanitary pads for two months of use, panties,

paper bags for disposal, soap and a flier with basic

information about Menstrual Hygiene.

The project way forward for the year 2015 is to conduct

workshops about Sexual Reproductive Health Right, , girls

motivation and distribution of “Binti Boxes” Bumbuli Secondary School [8] TAI Annual Report 2014

Jahazi Project

Under this area TAI implemented the following projects

Darubini Programme

Jahazi project for career and lifestyle While one-off events aiming to increase

career exposure are commonplace,

they often lead students to choose the

more glamorous over the more fulfilling

career. Most students focus on becom-

ing doctors, lawyers or engineers. This

desire is grounded in society’s expecta-

tions, not self-understanding. Exploring is

the missing link.

The Jahazi project is divided into two

stages: ‘Explore’ and ‘Inspire’. Through

reflection workshops students learned to

identify their individual strengths and pas-

sions, and to view both as signposts of

new career opportunities.

OUR IMPACT

Preliminary Workshops: 3 workshops, each lasting one hour, in the run-up to the event delivered

by different NGOs.

• VoiceGiving: empowerment- introducted the idea that students need to take ownership of their

life decisions. Motivation to gain skills for success. • Tanzania Youth For Change: knowing your op-

tions- Moving beyond the normal answers of doctor, lawyer and engineer to explore a diverse range

of career paths! • Tanzania Aspiration Initiatives: mapping your future- self-reflection on personal

strengths and realistic goals for the future.

The Careers Day: INSPIRATION.

Theme: A series of high-profile speakers kicked off the day with a panel discussion with the theme

“What does it take to be successful in Tanzania?”

Delivered by professionals with extensive experience, each of

these workshops aimed to inform students about the range of

opportunities available in the area. The professionals also of-

fered practical advice on how the students might get started

in their chosen career, and answered any questions the stu-

dents had.”

TAI Structure

and Accountability

TAI Structure

TAI is a project based organization which has a

total of three projects and one program, Each

project has a team and they report to the

Management team. The management team

works with the Executive director who

consolidates all the operational reports and links

them to the board of directors.

Projects Team Leaders

Each project has a team leader who manages

the project team in order for the team to reach

the project objectives. This person reports to the

coordinator of the initiative whereby there are

three coordinators for our initiatives.

Management Team

The Management team does the overall ad-

ministrative work as well as managing the pro-

jects. There are 4 managers and 6 coordinators.

The managers are responsible for the adminis-

trative work and they report directly to the Ex-

ecutive Director. The coordinators report to the

responsible manager.

Executive Director

The role of the executive director is to link the

management team and the board of directors.

His responsibility is to transfer the strategic plans

to the daily operations, to lead the manage-

ment team to meet the organizational goals

and to report to the board of directors. .

Advisory Board

The advisory board is comprised of individuals

who bring their experience, expert knowledge

or skills that can enhance the organization’s

work. The advisory board generally provides

recommendations and important information

but do not have any governing authority over

the organization. The organization’s directors

usually appoint members to an advisory board.

TAI needs the advisory board members to bring

additional needed expert insight into initiatives

and projects

Board of directors

The board of directors is crucial to TAI and is re-

sponsible for many specific tasks. The board’s

main task is to govern and oversee the opera-

tions of the organization through acting as fidu-

ciaries. In other words, the board is legally, fi-

nancially, and morally responsible for the organ-

ization. Each individual member of the board is

significant and holds many responsibilities that

help contribute to his/her work on the board as

a whole .

LEADERSHIP

PROGRAM

www.tai.or.tz [17]

It has been a rewarding experience working with TAI as a volunteer, I worked for more than seven

months up to now I am a director, For me volunteering connected me with different people, took me

out of my premises and let me out to see what is really happening outside my own familiar world. In

other words this experience made me grow personally as well as professionally.

(Ines Fidelis, TAI local volunteer from Dar es Salaam)

I support TAI because I believe their work has a direct impact on Tanzanian communities.

Instead of giving me birthday presents, I asked my family and friends to donate to TAI's

'Wajali Project' so that the money can be used to empower marginalized girls who need it

more than me. It made me very happy that the fundraising goal was even surpassed by

over 60%." (Sonja, TAI supporter from Germany)

Volunteering for TAI is a great opportunity to make a positive impact. One of the things i especial-

ly like about TAI is that our capacity building allow the community members themselves to be

the drivers of change, thereby ensuring that the time our volunteers spend within the projects will

benefit the community in a sustainable manner.

(Maria, TAI International Volunteer from Denmark)

Being a Volunteer brings me a day-to-day responsibility instead of a burden, But something

I would love to do and to share with my friends, to actually do stuff that change someone’s

life.

(Eve, TAI online volunteer from USA)

world to pursue its mission and im-

plement its programmes.
