Pamoja Leo plans to support transitions in Tanzania. We work initially with the under 5s group of children working on supportive services such as free daycares, kinship care support, formula programs. We then Believe in a data driven approach and use the case management system we developed to understand trigger points for exiting the family. We work mostly in collaboration with government and work on foster care as our last stage. We believe it’s more effective to ensure compliance with National laws by working with government than individual homes. We are developing Swahili based resources in 2020 to support others to replicate successes.
