Small World Initiative for Womens Security and Children Orphaned (SWIWSCO) is a Tanzanian licensed National Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) . It is dedicated to improving the lives of Women, orphans, Street, Hard Circumstance and other vulnerable children, SWIWSCO is located in Moshi, Kilimanjaro Tanzania, at base of spectacular Mt. Kilimanjaro.
One half of Tanzanias population is below the age of 18 and up to 60% of the children live in desperately poor conditions with little or no access to education, health care, food, shelter or legal rights. While many of the children are orphaned due to loss of both parents, a significant number are categorized as orphans due to the death or abandonment of one parent. The remaining parent or other caregiver, most often a woman, struggles to support the family on less than $1.00 a day.
This is the reality that SWIWSCO addresses through it's program for children and plans to support women on their journey to independence.
Please take a moment to review the remaining pages on our website. Thank you for your interest and support.

THANKS GIVING ANNUAL REPORT YEAR 2008/2009/2010
. Our dear partners,
I am taking this opportunity to thank you wholly for the achievement and success that (SWIWSCO) has achieved through
your moral support of material, financial and technical of which we have realized some goals and aims to be
undertaken in 2008/2009 and (SWIWSCO) now is four years old on 17th Nov-2010.
. ACHIEVEMENT:
(SWIWSCO) so far has witnessed a lot of achievement since it started on 2006 as described below.
(SWIWSCO) Orphanage had started with 3 kids on 2006/2007 that used to live at Mr. Collins apartment the founder of
swiwsco project, on 2007/ 2008 the number of kids increased to 17 kids at residence and 2009/2010 the number has
increased to 35 kids live at swiwsco residence and other 15 kids live with their relatives, parents and neighbors.
All this has achieved after moving to the new and big resident which can accommodate 50 kids at once, swiwsco has a
big open space for kids to play and having a fresh air, there is beautifully green garden which provide us with a lot of
fresh fruits as mangos, orange, lemon, sugarcane, papaya, banana, avocados and many more, also swiwsco has a
garden space for different vegetables where kids can have a lot of different vegetables.
The employee/staff of swiwsco has increased from 1 person to 4 person experience and professional for their job, this
has improved the quality service delivering to the children although we are luck of staff because most of them are
working 24 hrs.
In 2008 swiwsco had some Volunteers from German but now swiwsco had been working with a lot of volunteers from
all over the world, formerly children used to eat unbalance diet but now children are having at least full balance diet
and fruits, the new swiwsco residence has a big compound and good sanitation which minimizes the risk of getting
diseases with qualified health personnel the minor medical service are provided by mission hospital and get paid for
the swiwsco service.
The former house was small without a space for children to play and also was a shared compound with other families,
currently the rented premises have 8 big rooms and the children are sleeping, playing and learning smoothly, we have
beds and mattresses clothes and books shelf in all rooms the kids are living comfortable although we are luck of chairs
and tables at the living room but we believe that with gods grace we will have them soon.
Through the assistant of our dear partners swiwsco now at list all the basic needs pertaining learning thanks to all
donors and well wishes to all who made this changes, these fundamental achievement would not have been realized if
there was no mutual love and understanding for these venerable children that the task of rescuing these boys and girls
from their dangerous environments lays on our hands, we call upon you to come together in full force to enable us to
serve vulnerable boys and girls better.

. CHALLENGES:
Providing food to the kids at swiwsco residential house is the most important aspects in human survival, the majority
of swiwsco children come from very poor families which failed to provide balanced diet and sometimes even a single
meal a day, orphan and abandoned children, however this have expose them to street life or running away from their
families without any care as its impact the children are highly affected by malnutrition, teeth, skins, malaria, typhoid,
HIV and other sickness, well balance diet food is needed daily to improve their health and lives as others.
Despite the significant development there still renting premises for accommodating children which is subjected to be
paid annually, until we reach to the level of owning our own premises, therefore payment is needed for entire year of
2010/2011.
The centre up to now has not been able to get donors, who could assist in paying permanent needs for swiwsco such as
education, food and administration, Continuations from 2009/2010 achievement and the goals, organization has
decided to focus on expand our service to the children by starting a door to door program and trying to established
some different income project to make swiwsco become self sufficient.
Money for general needs especial food and rent has been critical to swiwsco because of being dependant for 100%
from donors, which sometimes donor are not in good shape of donating because of economic, however we sometimes
feel so embarrassing on insist writing to the donors and say the same word money.
We highly need your extra effort on assisting swiwsco to establish some different project which will real make swiwsco
became self sufficient organization in the nearly future.
. SWIWSCOS GOALS:
3. 1. Starting different project to become self sufficient as.

2. Farm land for building our premises and food crops.
3. Buying the Van for swiwsco children, this will help us with transportation and we will deliver our service
smoothly and on time everywhere.
4. Continues with door to door program, this program will help swiwsco build the relationship between children
and family or community, also this program will help swiwsco to increased and expand our service to the
targeted group, also will help swiwsco to decreased the number of the children at the premises by
connecting and rebuilding relationship to children and family and get support of their basic needs especial
education and material from their home place, mostly of the children they have parents and relatives who at
least they can provide children with accommodation and failed education and food, however swiwscos board
has to decide who to take over and who to remain after convinced with the family situation. We have realized
that if we still keep children at the residence we will never be able to serve more children who are in need of
education without accommodation, food and education without accommodation or children who are luck of
everything, this program will continue soon after stopping for a luck of financial and staff we have
successfully reconnect 15 children with their relatives and now they live with their relative and swiwsco is
providing their basic needs.
5. Employee 2 more staff with position of project co-coordinator and gardener to make our work working
properly.
