Tasaf Executive Director, Ladislaus Mwamanga
A Total of 1,640 pupils who failed to join primary school because they had no means of paying for the requirements have been rescued by the Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF).
The pupils from Chamwino, Kibaha and Bagamoyo districts were able to join school thanks to the introduction of a money transfer programme by Tasaf to poor households in the districts.
Speaking to The Guardian over the weekend, Tasaf Executive Director Ladislaus Mwamanga said they introduced the programme during the second phase of the Tasaf programme.
Mwamanga said they visited 11,576 households in the three districts, providing them with health services, food and enabling children aged between 6-18 years to go to school. Those between 0 and 5 years old were vaccinated against diseases.
Mwamanga said Tasaf was currently implementing phase three of the programme, focusing on empowering communities to propose projects, implement and monitor those that can improve their lives.
