The community of Mtinko has graduated

In 2022, the community transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Because of the dedication and partnership of sponsors like you, local people and organizations have been equipped to continue leading the community’s development – and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Mtinko has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context
The Mtinko (pronounced mm-tink-oh) community in Tanzania is located about 300 kilometres from Dodoma, the capital city. Mtinko has a semi-arid tropical climate, with a rainy season from November to April and dry, sunny weather from May to October. Most families live in homes made of mud with straw-thatched roofs. The community is comprised of different ethnic groups, each with its own culture and economic practices. Some engage in animal husbandry, while others rely on agriculture. More than 80% of households grow maize, beans, groundnuts, and sugar cane but they still find it difficult to grow enough food for the entire year....
