We believe every child deserves a safe start
CCY Tanzania started in 2011 with a simple conviction that still drives us today. We run a children's home and a school in the village of Bumilayinga, in northern Tanzania.
Our story
CCY Tanzania was built on one principle: the people who live in a community know best what it needs. Everything we do is shaped by close collaboration with the local community. The children's home and school are run by Tanzanian staff. We contribute resources and long-term support.
Today, children at the home are referred by Tanzanian social services. 130 students attend Liberty School every day. The same conviction that started CCY in 2011 drives the work still.
CCY Tanzania is a non-profit with no administration costs. Every contribution you make reaches the children and families in Bumilayinga.
