World Vision Hong Kong in Tanzania (2020)

This dispensary built by World Vision is a vital access to health services for pregnant and lactating mothers, as well as children under five.

Having received a cow from World Vision, Conlad and his family have improved their livelihoods through the sale of milk, while his daughter can receive sufficient nutrition to grow up healthy.

After World Vision drilled a borehole in her village, Granes and other children no longer have to fetch water from an unsafe source and their risk of contracting diseases is therefore much lowered.

World Vision provided story books for schools to improve children’s reading skills.

Having seen a steady economic growth in the past two decades, the United Republic of Tanzania has officially moved up from low-income country to lower-middle-income country status. In terms of eliminating poverty, while the percentage of people in poverty has decreased in recent years, the actual number of poor people has in fact increased as a result of the rapid population growth. After COVID-19 broke out last year, Tanzania’s economy has been dealt a heavy blow, which will likely push even more people into poverty.

Since 1981, World Vision has been helping children, families and communities in Tanzania to overcome poverty and hardships. Over the last four decades, World Vision has grown to be one of the largest humanitarian and development organisations in the country, working in 16 of the 31 regions.

In 2020, World Vision Hong Kong contributed approximately HK$20.35 million to support 4 ADPs in Tanzania, benefiting over 161,700 people.
