Research shows that the first Eight years are the most important for a child's brain development. During this period, the brain grows rapidly, making early interventions crucial for preventing long-term developmental delays.
In Tanzania, 53% of children aged 24–59 months are experiencing Global Developmental Delay (GDD) — a delays in areas like motor skills, language, and cognitive development. Most of these cases go unnoticed due to limited awareness and resources. We collaborate with parents, caregivers, pre-school teachers, health care providers, and community leaders to promote early detection and provide timely interventions.
We address Global Developmental Delays (GDD) in young children using a holistic early childhood approach based on the Nurturing Care Framework—covering health, nutrition, safety and Security, responsive caregiving, and early learning. Our solutions are locally adapted to fit Tanzania’s culture and community needs—ensuring every child stays on track and reaches their full potential.
