the Olive branch for children
soins de santé
Notre parapluie de soins de santé est le groupe de programmes qui traitent des problèmes de santé auxquels les communautés de notre zone de chalandise sont confrontées. L'Olive Branch for Children considère que l'accès aux soins de santé est un droit. Nous fournissons aux communautés les plus reculées un accès aux services de santé et à l'information, fournissons des références et un soutien aux membres de la communauté pour accéder à de plus grands hôpitaux et livrons des médicaments mensuels aux portes des gens. Nous comprenons que ces services s'attaquent aux obstacles actuels à l'accès aux soins, mais ne constituent pas la solution la plus durable à l'avenir. C'est pourquoi, nous travaillons avec le gouvernement du district pour construire des installations de santé permanentes.
En 2020, nos programmes Santé ont eu un impact positif sur 115 033 personnes.

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.
