At Watoto Salama Foundation, we know that a hungry child cannot learn, heal, or grow. Yet across Tanzania, many children go to sleep without a meal—not because there isn’t food, but because they’ve been left behind. Food is a basic human right, and it’s time we treated it that way.

Food Is a Right, Not a Privilege — Help Us Make That True for Every Child

                     Food Is a Right, Not a Privilege — Help Us Make That True for Every Child

Seeking support to end child hunger in Tanzania

At Watoto Salama Foundation, we know that a hungry child cannot learn, heal, or grow. Yet across Tanzania, many children go to sleep without a meal—not because there isn’t food, but because they’ve been left behind.

Food is a basic human right, and it’s time we treated it that way.

We’re working to change this reality, but we cannot do it alone. We are actively seeking grants, donations, and partnerships to expand our reach and ensure that every child we serve receives the nutrition they need to thrive.


Why Nutrition Matters

Malnutrition in early childhood leads to:

  • Delayed physical and mental development
  • Weakened immune systems
  • Higher school dropout rates
  • Long-term poverty and vulnerability

And yet, proper nutrition is one of the most affordable, impactful interventions for a child’s future.


What We’re Doing — and What We Could Do With More Support

With limited resources, we’ve already:

  • Delivered food packages to vulnerable families
  • Conducted nutrition screenings in rural villages
  • Supported community-based feeding programs
  • Provided mothers with food security training and garden kits

But we need your support to do more—to scale our programs, reach remote areas, and save more children from preventable hunger.


Join Us in Action

We’re currently seeking:

  • Grants to support our child nutrition and school meal programs
  • Food donations or partnerships from agricultural suppliers and food distributors
  • Funding for mobile outreach to deliver nutrition services to underserved communities
  • Collaborations with NGOs, donors, and government agencies working in food security or child health

Let’s End Child Hunger, Together

At Watoto Salama Foundation, our mission is not charity—it’s justice. We believe food must never be withheld by circumstance, poverty, or distance. With your help, we can build a future where no child is left to suffer in silence from hunger.

If you're an organization, donor, or individual who believes that food is a right, we invite you to stand with us.
