Small World Initiative for Women鈥檚 Security and Children Orphaned (SWIWSCO) is a Tanzanian licensed non-governmental organization (NGO) . It is dedicated to improving the lives of orphans, other vulnerable children and, impoverished women. SWIWSCO is located in Moshi, Tanzania, at base of spectacular Mt. Kilimanjaro.
One half of Tanzania鈥檚 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.
