The Olive Branch for Children
cuidado de la salud
Nuestro paraguas de atención médica es el grupo de programas que abordan los problemas de salud que enfrentan las comunidades en nuestra área de influencia. The Olive Branch for Children cree que el acceso a la atención médica es un derecho. Brindamos a las comunidades más remotas acceso a servicios e información de salud, brindamos referencias y apoyo a los miembros de la comunidad para acceder a hospitales más grandes y entregamos medicamentos mensuales a las puertas de las personas. Entendemos que estos servicios abordan las barreras actuales para acceder a la atención, pero no son la solución más sostenible en el futuro. Por eso, trabajamos con el Gobierno Distrital para construir establecimientos de salud permanentes.

Awakening Silenced Voices
Awakening Silenced Voices is a gender-equality youth camp for girls living at the Zion Home. The camp provides a safe space for young women to discuss what it means to be, and their experiences being a woman highlighting gender equality and women’s rights. This program started as a joint initiative with a Toronto based high school to bring together young girls from Canada and Tanzania to share their experiences and learn together.
Throughout the two weeks, the participants travel around Tanzania and participate in intensive workshops. At the end of the two weeks, participants are required to submit a final team project that explores the question “What it means to be a girl, or to be a woman” through film and creative writing.
Amazing videos and books have been produced through these camps.
STEP-UP Youths for Youths Development Camp
Our Step-Up Youths for Youths Development Camps run on the secondary school long holidays.
Our camps follow a schedule where, we use sport as a tool for development in the morning, and academic programming in the afternoon.
The mornings include time for discussions on the topic of the day, sport skill development and time to play the actual game. Discussions include food groups, innovative thinking, gender equality, being an ally, bullying, CV building, interview preparation etc. Youth then get to put the information to use during the co-ed camps, as sports can build transferable skills that can be used throughout their lives. One of the key aspects of our camps in the introduction of various sports (Gaelic Football, Ultimate Frisbee, Baseball) to Uyole, where football (soccer) is the predominant sport played.
In the afternoon, the Zion Peace Home students partake in a rigorous academic camp that reviews material for their grade level. Qualified teachers come to the Zion Peace Home to work with grade groups individually. Aside from review, students participate in activities such as public speaking, debates, and research projects.
These Youth Development Camps are run annually at the Zion Peace Home.
cross-cultural programs
We work with numerous schools around the world to match youth with penpals.
We believe it is so important for our youth to be exposed to different cultures and interact with other students as equals. The skills they learn through these cross-cultural projects ensure they can lead successful lives in our increasingly multicultural world.
