TAHEA Mwanza believes that a strong family unit, equipped with knowledge, resources, and agency, is the foundation for individual and community transformation. Our theory of change is grounded in empowering families—whatever their formation—to lead the process of change, supported by systems that are inclusive, accountable, and resilient. We deliver this through:

• Holistic, community-led interventions that integrate early childhood education, sustainable livelihoods, nutrition, housing, and access to land
• Strengthening institutions and governance structures that serve children, women, girls and marginalized families
• Partnering with local governments, communities, and civil society to ensure equitable and scalable impact

Strategic Intent

To enable resource-poor communities to realize their full potential through multidimensional programs that are inclusive, locally-owned, and designed for systemic change.

How We Do It

• Facilitation and Training: Through on-the-ground support, mentoring, and skills building for parents, girls, youth, farmers, and CBOs.
• Advocacy and Mobilization: Working with duty bearers, schools, and civil society to influence structural barriers and policies.
• Community Dialogue and Reflection: Engaging families and leaders to track change, assess relevance, and embed accountability.
• Data and Documentation: Building evidence of what works to guide adaptation and support replication.
