In Tanzania, millions of children live in extreme poverty, lacking access to proper nutrition, education, and medical care. Poverty leaves families vulnerable to human trafficking, early marriage, and a relentless cycle of hardship. Food for His Children (FFHC) partners with families to empower them to rise out of poverty. Through training, pastoral care, and microloans of dairy goats, FFHC helps families achieve their goals and create sustainable livelihoods. In 2024 alone, FFHC worked with 576 families across 40 sub-villages in Karatu District, Tanzania.
