Chalice has been serving children and seniors in Tanzania since 1998 in mostly rural communities.

The average rural Tanzanian family is quite large, and parents often struggle to afford school fees for all their children. Children are at high risk of dropping out, which increases high rates of unemployment and out-migration of men to urban mining centres. Through the support of sponsors and donors, Chalice and our local partners focus on ensuring each child completes their education until high school graduation, at a minimum.

When men move for work, women are left to run their smallholder farms for food and livelihood; they have no access to modern techniques and information, and yields are poor. Our sites run capacity-building training for parents, especially women, to assist them in finding work or beginning their own income-generating projects. Our sites also run sustainable agriculture programs to support school feeding and reduce food insecurity caused by poor harvests.
