About us

This is the Official Page of UNICEF Tanzania. UNICEF has been on the ground in Tanzania since 1954 as part of its emergency operations, though the office was set up in 1975. Since then, UNICEF’s support to Tanzania has taken many forms guided by the changing situation of women and children in Tanzania as well as the Organization's priorities. UNICEF plays a unique role in Tanzania as an advocate for children’s rights, identifying gaps in their realization, providing technical advice and assistance to the Government in addressing the gaps, and bringing evidence to the table. UNICEF will not stop until every child has every right!

  • From dreams to reality: UNICEF Youth Advocate Vasta's journey of resilience and empowerment. When her formal education was interrupted, Vasta discovered hope through the government-led, UNICEF Tanzania supported Integrated Programme for Out-of-School Adolescents (IPOSA). With determination and a passion for tailoring, she honed new skills, paving the way for her own tailoring business and a small kiosk that started her journey to financial independence. But Vasta’s story doesn’t stop there. Embracing her newfound skills, she became a dedicated community volunteer, established a savings group for adolescent girls, and was celebrated as one of UNICEF Tanzania’s new Youth Advocates, standing firm in the fight to end child marriage. Every girl deserves the chance to rewrite her story. ✨ Read more about Vasta’s journey: https://lnkd.in/dyGgTgzJ

  • Transforming Education, One School at a Time! We’re on the ground in Songwe where the Government of Tanzania, in partnership with Education Above All Foundation's Educate A Child programme and UNICEF Tanzania is witnessing real change for out-of-school children. During a joint visit to Isenzanya and Ipunga Primary Schools, we observed learners in action, saw attendance monitoring in practice, and assessed WASH facilities that are crucial for a healthy learning environment. Outside the classroom walls, we also got to meet with school committees, local leaders, parents, and community members—because quality primary education thrives when the whole community is involved! Together, we are making sure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a brighter future. #ForEveryChild #EducationForAll #LeaveNoChildBehind #EducateEveryChild

  • Makeshift toilets. Dug-out holes. The constant threat of waterborne diseases. This was the reality for Imani Ramadhani and many others in Kilolo district, Iringa. But through a partnership between LIXILSATO and UNICEF Tanzania that builds sustainable sanitation markets, communities like Imani's are seeing fewer diseases, healthier families, and improved well-being. Access to clean sanitation isn’t just about hygiene, it’s about building stronger, healthier communities #ForEveryChild #WorldWaterDay💧
