    Description

    We are an organization found in 2021. Ideally started in 2020 during Covid 19 outbreak , founder of the organization is Cosmas John who was born and raised in the small village in Moshi Kilimanjaro.
    Why and how it was started
    In 2020 there was an incident related to sexual abuse happened in our street called Shirimatunda . This incident emotionally touched me because the one who committed the sexual abuse was among of the family members , I just did the survey to get to know how serious the problem is in our community. The results showed that the sexual abuse for children in our community is a serious problem. So, I personally volunteered to teach the children how to protect their bodies through the program called My body is my body,I asked permission from their parents to come every evening at my Mom’s place for the program. I downloaded teaching materials online from the MBIMB foundation operating in UK, found by Chrissy Sykes. I taught a lot of children and they were enjoying the program.During that time, I was keeping in touch with Chrissy Sykes, she was guiding and advising me how to make the project sustainable.Later in 2021, we registered our organization to operate both locally and nationally with five (5) members. In 2022, we started to work with volunteers from Tanzania and around the world, we believed that there are kind people out there who are ready to share their experiences and uniqueness to change the world. The Foundation is for everybody who is ready to share his/her uniqueness to make great impact in our communities, we open doors for others.
