The community of Manonga 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 Manonga 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 Manonga community is located in the Tabora Region of Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria. The rainy season is from November to April, interrupted by dry spells lasting for as long as a month. The rest of the year is very dry, with August and September being the warmest months.

The majority of community members survive on farming and livestock keeping. Food production is low, which has led to child malnutrition. There are very few income opportunities, especially for women and youth. Nearly 60% of the people here live below the poverty line on less than $1 per day. Clean and safe water is scarce, especially during the dry season. Children suffer from waterborne diseases, and many children die from preventable illnesses like malaria. HIV is also prevalent. Orphans, children from families impacted by HIV and AIDS, single mothers, people living with HIV and AIDS, and unemployed youth are especially vulnerable to poverty and malnutrition. Orphans are at great risk of dropping out of school because of poverty and extra responsibilities for survival.
