Kijana Kwanza is a grassroots charity based in Moshi, Tanzania that rescues  orphans, street children and victims of abuse, providing them with  shelter, schooling and life skills training. Our apprenticeship program offers a young person the opportunity to learn a trade that in future can provide a regular income, whilst earning a wage at the same time.

15 year old Rizwani, a school drop-out, joined Kijana Kwanza in April 2023, after the orphanage he was staying in was forced to close down. He started an apprenticeship as a Trainee welder at a local business. Since then he has flourished,matured and has a real sense of purpose in life.
