Healthcare and Hope for Children Living with HIV/AIDS
Faraja Trust Fund (Faraja) and ICT have been working in partnership since 2006. Faraja, a local NGO based in Morogoro, Tanzania, was established in 1991 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It provides care and support to vulnerable people in Morogoro, especially those affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty. In 2006 Faraja established Healthcare and Hope for Children Living with HIV/AIDS, a project that aims to improve the quality of life of 100 Children Living with HIV/AIDS (CLHA) at Faraja Home Care Centre in Morogoro.

Street Children Education and Psychosocial Support
Within Tanzania, children under 15 make up approximately 46% of the population. The number of children living and working on the streets has increased significantly since the early 1990s predominantly due to the impact of poverty and HIV/AIDS on households. Large numbers of children live on the streets of Morogoro. These children suffer from abuse, neglect and discrimination and often forgo their education to earn meager wages as informal workers. In response, Faraja established Street Children Education and Psychosocial Support in 2006. This project aims to rehabilitate street children through education and psychosocial support.
