Africa (CEA) to hatch and implement a special project meant to support the vulnerable children in the regions of Dodoma and Dar es Salaam.<br /><br />Through the ongoing constructive initiative, christened ‘Afya Yangu’ the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) which receives its comfortable funds from Pangaea Zimbabwe Aids Trust (PZAT) among others focuses to scale up necessary health needs towards the homeless youth and children, without any stigma as well as depression.<br /><br />Giving an exclusive interview to this publication in Dodoma Capital City, the NGO’s Head of Programs, Elizabeth Kafuku detailed as part to implement the project fruitfully, during last year, the initiative conducted a thorough situational analysis which covered at least 583 homeless children, the study which unearth a pathetic revelations.<br /><br />She briefed, the research established that majority of the hapless street children are subjected to different dangerous atrocities, including sodomy, rapes, and earlier pregnancies, as well as human trafficking.<br /><br /><br /><a

/></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And she added, the initiative and research was based on the said vulnerable children in Dodoma Capital City, and the three districts of Ilala and Kigamboni in Dar es Salaam.<br /><br />“It’s very threatening and disconcerting as our prior situational analysis found out that most of the homeless young bloods, which are the tomorrow’s generation, are facing an array of serious unfriendly -human menaces,” she expressed.<br /><br />And Kafuku added, “For instances, in Dodoma city, despite of engaging onto use of narcotic drugs, our survey established some cases, at least six cases, in which some of the street children were kidnapped during mid-night hours and to later on found their dead body dumped with some of their organs chopped off,”<br /><br />Sexual negligence, unsafe abortion, stigmatization, suicides, mental illness and HIV/ids infections also stands among the dangerous cases that haunting the said young groups who are dwelling and having shelters along the streets, according to Kafuku.<br /><br /><br /><a

like-minded stakeholders in order to receive enough muscles to implement the vital project more successfully.<br /><br />“We’re soughting to source enough collaboration supports from the government and the other development partners in order to address these challenges in a more sensible manner with an eye to ensure the vulnerable children are given psycho-physical and health assistances, along with key education to help rescue them from the life-ending damages,” she noted.<br /><br />Divulging further information, she expressed that the project was directing its interventions to promote

that they may stand a safe and assured position to receive good health services,” she unveiled.<br /><br />According to her, the organization has prepared a policy brief, which has identified several shortcomings of the policy and the Law of 2007, 2009 and 2019 for children and youth that basically do not recognize the special health needs of children and youth living and working on the streets.<br /><br />“And these children are affected by diverse challenges that make them unable to get proper services in the health centers located in their vicinities due to some reasons like, fear of coming to the centers, stigmatization from the centers, lack of sufficient education about their rights and responsibilities, thus leading to many being affected by various sexually transmitted diseases and HIV,” Kafuku added.<br /><br /><br /><a

a robust initiative for the establishment of demonstration apiaries to serve as key podium centers for the rolling out of relevant knowledge to the stakeholders and experts involved in the country’s apiculture sector.<br /><br />The timely development shelved to take shape from this month incorporates constructions of the vital beekeeping facilities within at least 15 districts of Tanzania Mainland as well as the 4 districts in Pemba island.<br /><br /><br /><a

/></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />An apiary, also known as a bee yard, is a location where beehives of honey bees are kept, and usually, such areas are wall-less, roofed structure, similar to a gazebo which houses hives, or an enclosed structure with an opening that directs the flight path of the bees.<br /><br />Giving an interview to this publication, Deogratius Kimena, the project’s Expert in Result Monitoring expressed that the initiative which seeks to further improve performance of the sector is being implemented by Enabel, the Belgian Development Agency through funds from the European Union (EU).<br /><br />“Among others, the envisaged bee-yards are expected to play a meaningful role to help impart the districts beekeeping officers (DBOs), as well as the beekeepers in the beneficiary districts with the best recommended beekeeping practices,” he detailed.<br /><br />Kimena named the 15 mainland districts in which the project is going to be implemented as Kakonko, Kibondo, Kasulu, Uvinza, Tanganyika, Nsimbo, Mlele, Sikonge, Uyui, Urambo, Kaliua, Kahama-Ushetu, Manyoni-Itigi, Ikungi and Singida.<br /><br />He further informed that, apart from the project, BEVAC will this year run a number of campaigns to disseminate vital training to the majority of beekeepers to ensure high quality honey is produced which meet the set international market standards.<br

/></a><br /><br /><br /><br />“For example, in Pemba island establishment of new beekeeping reserves is being prioritized in January with the initial stages including holding community meetings and meeting with leaders of hosting Shehias,” he added.<br /><br />Together with that, Kimena expounded that plans are also afoot to organize an array of remote coaching of beekeeping SMEs on branding and packaging that continues to support them to access and meet international markets of bee products.<br /><br />In more concerted efforts to spur the sector, the project is working in sync with the Ministry of Tourism and Natural Resources for Tanzania Mainland and Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, Natural Resources and Livestock in Zanzibar to establish new bee reserve areas in different regions with apiculture potential across the country.<br /><br /><br /><a

/></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The target, according to Kimena, is to ensure that at least a total of 53,527 hectares of forest land is conserved and officially recognized as a beekeeping reserve area.<br /><br />Tanzania stands 14th country for beekeeping in the world and 2nd in Africa with most of the country's produced honey and beeswax often exported to Germany, France, Belgium and Netherlands, Oman, USA, Japan, Botswana, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Congo DRC, Somali and neighboring Kenya.<br /><br />Moreover, relevant records depict that the country is currently producing over 138,000tons of honey and 9,200tons of beeswax per year.<br /><br />Tanzania holds at least 48.1million hectares of forests, equivalent to 54 percent of the county’s area, whereby the government reserved forests area is 465 hectares, including 24 tree plantations,23 natural environmental conservation areas, and 20 beekeeping reserves.<br /><br /><br /><a

cater for transport allowance for them to return to their respective regions while awaiting for the remaining payments.<br /><br />"We failed to depart because despite the amount being poor, we're

Hassan to intervene of the saga, alleging that they have so far took several measure to seek for their payment from different government authorities, but with no good avail.<br /><br />" We have finalised the work since earlier December, 2023 in accord to the contract but our employer is seemingly not keen to pay us," he lamented.<br /><br />He said most of the workers are coming from far

the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA) over their pathetic situation.<br /><br />"The manager told us he was not in any position to help, saying the company is obliged to pay us," according to him.<br /><br />When contacted to comment over the allegations, the company's Managing Director Judith Odunga admitted to have not foot the workers remaining payment.<br /><br />She itemized a number of technical facts that have 'arm- twisted' her to issue the remaining amount, however saying she was working teeth and nail to settle the dispute.<br /><br />"It is true, the
