Develop Tanzania e.V.

The purpose of Develop Tansania e.V. is to provide people in the east and south of Tanzania with a sustainable source of income. Thus, in the long term, compliance with human and children's rights as well as the local economic situation should be improved.

Future projects include the establishment of a drinking water supply, permanent jobs with fair wages and health insurance.

Further project work is to be activities in the field of school education, training and further education.

All of these measures are intended to support people to help themselves and aim to achieve independence over the long term. Everyone in the world should be allowed to develop freely and without constraints.

Why are the Develop Tansania e.V. projects so important?

Despite many efforts and millions of euros by Western governments for development aid in poor countries, it has not yet been possible to create a just and balanced world.

Every person in the world should have the same opportunities to shape his or her life.

By giving people a job with fair wages and health insurance, we give their children the space to devote themselves to their individual opportunities and interests.

Our projects are about making self-confident people who have been informed about their rights into important pillars of global society.

Child labor

Child labor is still a big issue in Tanzania. There has been minimal improvement in this area so far. Almost 30% of 5-14 year olds work and around 94% of them in agriculture.

18% of these children under the age of 15 work in mining and primarily mine gold. For this purpose, very toxic chemicals are used to extract the precious metal. The children are therefore exposed to an extremely high risk of mercury poisoning. This can lead to severe neurological and developmental problems.

It is estimated that child labor affects 4.2 million children between the ages of 5 and 17. The law of Tanzania allows children from the age of 14 to work, but this does not correspond to the international standard.

On the mainland of Tanzania, children are used in illegal activities, and the people responsible for them get away with it.

Families affected by poverty have to repeatedly violate children's rights for existential reasons. For example the right to education, the right to health, the right to identity, the right to protection from violence and child marriage.

Develop Tansania e.V. projects

By creating:

• Fairly paid jobs in compliance with environmental awareness
• Payment of health insurance
• the clarification of business processes
• the development of the drinking water supply
• financial support for apprenticeships
• support women in their daily challenges
• supporting and educating children in their fundamental tasks

... Develop Tansania e.V. can improve the overall situation in Tanzania. In this way, emigration can also be averted, as prospects are now created in their own country.
