ABOUT THE ANNUAL REPORT
The 2012 annual report was generated from data and information collected from various sources.
These include: World Vision Tanzania’s (WVT) quarterly, semi-annual as well as other progress reports.
Additionally, 12 out of 62 World Vision Tanzania, Area Development Programmes (ADP) were evaluated
in 2012, which also generated comprehensive qualitative and quantitative data for reporting.
This annual report represents the situation in WVT areas of operations for the period covering October,
2011 to September, 2012.
More evaluations are anticipated in the near future in ADPs that shall have completed another
implementation cycle. Each cycle runs for about 5 years before it re-designs and enters another
phase. Therefore, it would be meaningful to follow the trends in upcoming reports for the purpose of
complementing this year’s brief.

Word from the Chairman, Board of Trustees
T
he Board of Trustees of World Vision Tanzania recognizes the
effort that the staff have put into attaining the achievements
documented in this report. The commitment and perseverance
that they have shown is a true indication of a desire to follow our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed. Some
of these achievements have been shared on the media (TV, radio and
newspapers), which indicates an increasing visibility and appreciation of
World Vision’s work in Tanzania. The concerted effort of the Board and
leadership has also seen World Vision Tanzania internationally recognized
for its contributions to the sustainable achievement of improved child wellbeing outcomes through improved livelihoods and child focused values.
Rev. Prof. Harrison Olan’g
I would also like to recognize the good work being done by VisionFund
Tanzania (VFT), formerly called the Small Enterprise Development Agency
(SEDA). The integrated programming signified by loans to small business
and small holder farmers in the communities WVT serves, contributes to
improving household income. The integration of VFT in WV programming
supported by joint WVT and VFT Board forums has become a formidable
force in bringing sustainable hope to the children of Tanzania.
The Board Members of the two organizations – WVT and VFT serve on a
voluntary basis. Their tireless efforts, commitment and dedication to the
two organizations can only be appreciated through prayers of blessings and
thanksgiving to God.
The Board looks forward to a continued healthy and fruitful relationship
with Management and the various partners in the year 2013. As we walk
with the poor may the Lord strengthen us as a Board, Management, Staff
and Partners to reach out to more disadvantaged communities in 2013.

Word from the National Director
W
orld Vision Tanzania operates in 62 Area Development
Programmes (ADPs), and manages over 6 Government
grants, 53 Private Non-Sponsorship projects and a Refugee
Camp in Kigoma. These programs and projects have been under the capable
and dedicated governance, leadership and management of nine Board
Members, seven Directors and more than 1000 staff. This 2012 annual
report celebrates the achievements gained through the combined efforts
of the Board, Management, World Vision staff, the Tanzanian Government,
Support Offices, Faith Based Organisations, likeminded NGOs, Multilateral
and Unilateral organizations. The cooperation and support received from
our partners over the journey through 2012 cannot be overstated. The
government in its respective ministries, partner NGOs and our donors have
been instrumental in contributing to the successes achieved.
Mr.Timothy F. Andrews
The 2011 World Vision Tanzania annual report featured, among other
initiatives, the initial progress of the Market-Led Agriculture Programme
(MLAP) under the Secure the Future initiative. It is with celebration
and thanksgiving that the year 2012 has registered even greater success
in this programme.
The quality of life of the community in our pilot
ADP, Makindube, and indeed the visible child well-being outcomes has
encouraged us to scale up MLAP to more WVT ADPs. This is coupled with
intentional capacity building initiatives for staff and community members
to contribute towards building an empowered worldview. Empowerment
becomes a foundation on which economic development and resiliency
programming support communities to sustainably achieve improvements in
the nutritional, health, educational, child protection and participation status
of children.
Our success has been leveraged by the integrated efforts from VisionFund
Tanzania, formerly called the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA).
Their provision of loans to small business owners and small scale farmers in
WVT ADPs has contributed to the significant improvement in the economic
status of communities in our areas of operation.
It is my prayer that God will continue walking with World Vision Tanzania
through 2013. May the Lord continue blessing our valued Board Members,
Management, Staff and Partners through the coming years.

LIVELIHOOD:
To contribute to the improvement of food security for children, families and their
communities
The WVT livelihood programme facilitates socio-economic empowerment of individuals, households
and communities to reduce poverty and improve child well-being. The WVT child well-being aspirations
include girls and boys: enjoy good health; are educated for life; enjoy the love of God and their neighbours
and are cared for, protected and participating. The livelihoods interventions are aligned to the Tanzania
government’s KILIMO KWANZA strategy which intends to transform agriculture from subsistence to
commercial farming.
Agriculture and Food Security:
In the agriculture and food security sector, WVT facilitated communities to implement the following
interventions:
• Organise into farmers groups and farmer organizations
• Capacity building for market-led and eco-agriculture approaches
• Improving smallholder farmers’ access to financial services
• Enhancing access to appropriate agricultural inputs
• Agricultural infrastructure and value chain enhancement (storage, processing and transportation)
• Improving access to markets
• Appropriate irrigation systems
• Rainwater harvesting technologies
• Resilence technologies for weather events
In the livestock sector, a total of 1,056 dairy goats and 841 dairy cows not only boosted livestock
production, but also ensured that children accessed milk for improved health and nutrition. Farmers’
group members were trained on how to manage the livestock projects and the importance of contacting
the veterinarian to maintain healthy goats. Attention was also given to the consumption of animal
products in a manner that supports beneficiaries and ensures sustainability of the project.

An evaluation exercise conducted in 12 ADPs (Kisongo-Makuyuni, Magugu, Gorowa, Mukulat, Ruvu Remit,
Ruvu Muungano, Mgera, Nakombo, Bukene, Ruhita, Katerero and Nyasa) in 2012 revealed a steady increase
in household food security from 36.6% to 42.1% of households between 2006 and 2012. This increase is
higher than the national statistics of 36% as indicated in the Tanzania Demographics Health Survey (TDHS)
of 2010. This improvement was realised despite repeated drought impact in programme areas which
negatively affected farming activities. A remarkable impact was also exhibited in child nutrition where
under-weight children under the age of 5 years reduced from 20.7% to 13.3 % between 2006 and 2012,
wasting from 8.1% to 3.7% and stunting reduced from 44.4% to 39.3%.

VISION FUND TANZANIA
VisionFund improves the lives of children in the developing world
by offering small loans and other financial services to families living in
poverty. VFT’s work empowers clients to develop successful businesses
which enable children to grow up with improved health and education. In
Tanzania,VFT works in partnership with World Vision Tanzania.
VFT achievements in 2012:
Remains the 4th largest and fastest growing of the major Tanzanian MFIs
with 30,145 clients (35% increase) and a portfolio outstanding of US$ 5.3
million (53% increase)
• Continues to have the highest quality portfolio among the major
Tanzanian MFIs with a 30-day Portfolio at Risk below 2.9%
• Among most efficient of the major Tanzanian MFIs with a cost per
borrower per year of US$ 90 that enables effective pursuit of rural
lending
• Lowest average loan balance of the major Tanzanian MFIs at US$200
suggesting that VFT is the most poverty focused MFI
• Steady substantial increase of its rural footprint particularly within the
ADPs
• An ADP expansion presence from 34 in 2011 to 39 at the end of 2012.
VisionFund Tanzania has continued to invest heavily in technology and
expects to offer cashless banking services (loans and deposit taking) and
a substantially faster paperless loan application process by the end of
2013. Increasing the income of its clients, VFT targets to serve 120,500
children, while providing them with more and better shelter, education,
health services, food and water.

MARKET-LED AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMME (MLAP) CONTINES
World Vision Tanzania, in collaboration with Farm
Concern International, VisionFund and MicroEnsure
reached out to communities in Same District to help
improve lives through a new empowerment approach.
What does MLAP do?
The MLAP initiative was set up in Makindube Area
Development Programme and ran from October
2011 to April 2012, to impact the lives of 5,095 local
rice growers living in Same District in Kilimanjaro
Region, Northern Tanzania.
12
MLAP principles:
Seeks to understand local agricultural comparative
advantages, and local, regional, and international
market requirements
Establishes farming systems to produce profitable,
quality, climate change resistant products
Improves smallholder farmers’ livelihood and
creates a vibrant economy
Organizes farmers into “Commercial Villages” to
operate like large commercial farmers
Trains farmers on market-led agricultural
development, prudent use of financial services, and
business basics

What is the impact of MLAP?
Through the Market-Led Agriculture Programme (MLAP), Makindube
farmers were organized into Commercial Producer Groups (CPGs) and
adopted an improved paddy rice variety called SARO 5. Because of the
adoption, paddy productivity increased from an average of 23 bags to 45
bags per acre.
By supporting (CPGs) to access reliable and reasonably priced markets,
the sale of 50 kg of harvested paddy rice increased from an average of
Tshs. 45,500 in 2011 to Tshs. 73,922 in 2012.

Woman’s quest for
loans against all
odds brings family
transformation
“My husband was so reluctant, he refused profusely for me to join the project and request for a loan. He was
worried that I may take the loan, fail to pay and go to prison for it,” says Zaina Ramadhani, 45.
Zaina, married to Sadiki Omary, are blessed with four children. Shaabani, the eldest is 17 and the youngest,
Hassan is 4. Before the two parents joined the MLAP programme, life was hard. Zaina grimly recollects a time
when her kids wore worn-out clothes and shoes to school. The mother of four confesses that they were late to pay
school fees and at times were unable to purchase school books.
“I was unhappy because I could see how miserable my children were, we were unsure of meals, and my children
would be sent back home from school because fees were not paid. They wore slippers to school instead of proper
shoes, and it made me feel helpless because there was nothing I could do about it,” says Zaina.
14
The couple’s battle weren’t only about schooling as the family also had to cope with environmental challenges and
especially during the rainy season as Zaina explains, “this was a-no-sleep season for us, because when it rained
heavily we all had to wake up and fight off the torrent from soaking down on us through the grass thatched roof.”
Zaina further explains that it was the struggles that she and her family underwent and her strong conviction that
she would succeed that convinced her to seek a loan with VisionFund despite the fact that her husband forbade
her. “My husband insisted even at the time of signing my joining form, that he did not approve and that even if I
went to jail for failing to pay, he would not be responsible,” said Zaina. Despite her husband’s reservations, Zaina
still took a loan of Tshs 400,000/= from VisionFund, bought SARO 5 seeds and insured her crops against floods
with MicroEnsure. In the past, due to the shortage of capital, Zaina manually ploughed one acre, harvested and
sold 20 bags each for Tshs 30,000/=.
“But now things have changed,” reveals an excited Zaina,“I amazingly harvested 70 bags of rice and out of those,
I sold only 50 bags and left 20 bags for using at home with my family. I sold each bag for Tshs 80,000/= and
got Tshs. 4 million in my first harvest,” she triumphantly finishes.
With the initial profits, Zaina started construction of her new family home, she bought her eldest son Shaabani a
bicycle to go to school with, paid fees for all her children and purchased all their school necessities including shoes.
“My husband was so thrilled and very supportive during the harvest that he urged me to take another loan this
season. I took another loan of Tshs. 700,000/= and have already planted on 2 acres,” Zaina happily explains.
Zaina, who appears to have gained more self-assurance, is now confidently planning a future for her family. In
the new 6 bedroom house that she has built, she has reserved a room for her husband to carry out his work as
a tailor. She plans to buy more land for more farming, take her children to better schools and buy a power tiller.
“I am so grateful to all the partners because they have transformed our lives in Makindube. I’m proud of the
decision I made and I keep convincing other women in my village to join. I recently persuaded my neighbour Asha
Ramadhani who just took a loan of 400,000/=. She was convinced after she saw the changes in my life. This is
a good thing, and I thank God for bringing this project to us,” concludes Zaina.

WASH:
WVT empowers communities to improve access to adequate,
safe and clean water for domestic use and to promote hygiene
practices
World Vision’s overriding objective in the WASH sector is to ensure that
children enjoy good health for protection from infection, disease and
injury. Last year, WASH interventions targeted 20 Area Development
Programmes and assisted a population of more than 696,095 people in
127,033 households.
WVT worked with the community to construct 14 water harvesting tanks,
1 chaco dam, 4 water reservoirs, 16.3 km of water distribution systems
with 31 water domestic points, 56 shallow wells, 16 boreholes and 95
latrines in schools and health facilities. WVT assisted with the renovation
of 33 water resources, trained more than 800 community members on
water source management and 9,500 community members on personal
hygiene and environmental sanitation. 55 water funds were established by
beneficiary communities for water source maintenance.
The program had impact on potable water accessibility in 2012. WVT
interventions in 12 ADPs that were evaluated revealed that households
collecting water from protected and safe sources increased from 32.5% to
56.5% between 2007 and 2012. At the same time, households with access
and using permanent latrines have increased from 32% in 2007 to 81.6%
in 2012 leading to the decrease of water borne diseases in WVT areas of
operation.
Government institutions, particularly district councils, provided technical
support to design water infrastructures. They supervised construction or
renovation of infrastructures and facilitated community capacity building
in water, sanitation and hygiene issues. The beneficiary communities
contributed materials such as gravel, sand and stones and were involved in
the planning, monitoring and evaluation of projects.
16
NEW LATRINES IMPROVE PUPILS
PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOLS
“Pupils had to join long queues to use the toilets, so instead they
used to urinate and defecate around school premises including
nearby bushes, school farms, or behind classrooms. This made
our school surroundings very unpleasant and pupils suffered
frequent outbreaks of diseases such as stomach aches and
diarrhoea. It also increased the dropouts from schools and
bad performance,” states Kaazi Primary School’s headteacher
Ms.Consesa Rweyemamu.
World Vision Tanzania, through its Katerero Area Development
Programme in Kagera region, supported Kaazi Primary School
to build a new improved pit latrine which improved hygiene,
enrolment and pupils attendance.
TIPPY TAP TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS
CHILDREN AND PARENTS
Juliana John, a standard 6 pupil at the Wichamike
primary school in Busangi, Kahama is one of the
students using hand washing soap which protects
children from infectious diseases.
BEFORE
The Wash project, supported by World Vision Tanzania
in Busangi Area Development Project, gave practical
demonstrations on how to improve hygiene and
sanitation by applying the tippy tap technology.
Tippy Tap technology is a ‘hands-free’, low cost, water
conserving hand washing device that allows the washing
of hands in a hygienic and convenient method.

EDUCATION:
To improve access to quality primary
education for boys and girls
Within the reporting year 2012, WVT supported
the country’s education sector through improved
access to primary education for girls and boys.
59 classrooms were constructed where more
than 2,655 pupils benefited. Additionally, 17
classrooms were renovated benefiting more than
765 school children. WVT also strengthened
school committees on school management and
children participation, and in this, 1,453 teachers
and 865 committee members were trained on
school management, gender and advocacy. WVT
provided children in primary schools with 4,475
desks, 25,156 standard text books and various sets
of teaching-learning aids.
WVT interventions contributed to improvements
in the quality of education. The average enrolment
of children in schools grew from 63.7% (2007) to
85.3% (2012) while the number of school dropouts declined from 5.8% (2007) to 3.1% (2012).
The functional literacy of children aged 11-13 was
78.7% by 2012.
Furthermore, the number of pupils who attained
the pass mark rose from 52% (2007) to 60%
(2012). Similarly the proportion of pupils who
joined government secondary schools (Form One)
increased from 50% (2007) to 65% (2012).
18
Moreover the advocacy role of WVT contributed
to changes of attitude by communities towards
girl-child education.
HEALTH AND NUTRITION:
To improve primary health care and enhance HIV & AIDS and malaria responsiveness
WVT registered increased impact in health and nutrition. The roll out of the Timed and Targeted Counselling
(TTC) model within the AIM health project resulted in an increased number of pregnant women attending
antenatal care, facility deliveries and referral cases for sick children and mothers. WVT also trained 23
government facilitators who scaled up the training of 140 Village Health Workers currently serving 583
households. Within these households, there were 183 expecting mothers and 417 with children under 6
months.
19
Primary Health Care
The organization improved community capacity in preventing diseases, managing incidences of malaria,
preventing and managing diarrhoea among under five children, prevention of HIV infection and providing
care and support to Orphan and Vulnerable Children. Capacity building was also provided to 1,102
Village Health Workers, 228 Traditional Birth Attendants, 34 Traditional Healers and 15 Home Visitors. By
training members of Village Health Committees (9,147), Village Malaria Committees (158) and Community
Counsellors (532), WVT contributed to strengthening communities’ capacity to manage health issues.
The coverage of essential vaccines in under five children has increased in World Vision areas of operation.
Among these children aged 12 to 59 months, 78.2% were fully immunized, with a significant increase from
the baseline (53.6%).
Malaria Prevention and control
Under the PMI funded (Achievement and Maintenance of Comprehensive Coverage - AMCC) project,
12 sensitization trainings were implemented in 12 Districts. Learning areas focused on behaviour change
towards restoring the use of the Pregnant Women and Infant Vouchers and Long Lasting Insecticide
Treated Nets (LLINs) and collection of the nets from the designated pick-points. The training also entailed
supportive visits by Council Health Management Team (CHMT) members to Reproductive and Child
Health (RCH) facilities, proper voucher data management and provided emphasis on the importance of
planned Structured Health Talks.
Evaluations in WVT areas of operation indicated that, in the year 2012, 73.9% of children under the age of
5 slept under LLINs the night before the survey. This was above the national statistics reported to be 24%
(TDHS, 2010).
HIV and AIDS prevention, care and support
The organization intervened in the area of HIV/AIDS where 24,024 Orphans and Vulnerable Children
(OVC) were identified and 21,076 of them were supported with basic needs. Additionally, 2,037 People
Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) were supported. Furthermore, 372 OVCs underwent vocational training
and 1,300 ToTs were trained on life skills. WVT also distributed 1,002 Voluntary Counselling and Testing
Kits, 5 microscopes and 14 Ultra Shield under pads. Other materials provided included 323 beds, 400
malaria books, 25 beds, 51 mattresses and 4 examination beds.
The rate of pregnant women who were counseled and tested for HIV is reported at 72.3% (ADP Evaluation
reports 2012). This situation is better than the national average of over 55% as per TDHS (2010).
20
HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY AFFAIRS (HEA):
To strengthen emergency response capacity particularly within WVT areas of operation and beyond
where capacity permits
Kigoma Refugee Program
WVT provided humanitarian support to Congolese and
Burundian refugees in Nyarugusu and Mtabila camps in
Kasulu District, Kigoma Region. WVT administered funding
to facilitate the distribution of food to 68,061 refugees
within Nyarugusu camp. General Food Distribution
process takes place every month in two cycles (14 days
ration). The portions given include a daily ration of
cereals (380g), pulses (120g), fortified corn soy blend (40g),
vegetable oil (20g) and iodized salt (5gms) per person. The
food rations contain 2,107 kilo calories and 65.4 proteins.
A total of 18,763 Metric Tons of assorted food items were
distributed to the 68,061 refugees in Nyarugusu camp.
Food for Assets: Ruvu Remit
To address food insecurity which affected Simanjiro District
and communities in Ruvu Remit division, World Vision
Tanzania partnered with WFP, to implement the “Food
for Assets project”, an irrigation programme where local
communities were assigned developmental infrastructure
piece work in exchange for food commodities. The
achievements included rehabilitation of old canals at Ruvu
(6Kms), Gunge (12Kms) and Ngage (25Kms). In addition,
excavation of a new canal was completed at Ruvu (40Kms),
Gunge (8.5Kms) and Ngage (48.6Kms).
WATER IRRIGATION INITIATIVE EMITS HIGH
HOPES AMONG FARMERS
Benjamin Elias, 38, is a farmer residing in Ngage village, an
area prone to drought. Despite the challenging environment, his
hopes for a bumper harvest are unusually high this year.
In fact he estimated that through this season’s harvest he
would reap an average of 100 bags of onions per acre yielding
to a projected income between Tshs. 12,800,000 to Tshs.
19,200,000.
Because of rationing water for irrigation, Benjamin used to settle
for 60 bags of onions per acre. Now with the expectation of a
higher income he plans to purchase more diverse food for his
family, construct a house and pay for his children’s education.
Through World Vision Tanzania’s irrigation canal Food For Assets
(FFA) project, Benjamin was able to consistently and adequately
irrigate the onions on his one acre farm leading to an abundant
harvest.

Child Health Now (CHN) Campaign Launch:WVT
On 28th November 2012, World Vision Tanzania held a public launch of the Child Health Now
(CHN) Campaign. World Vision International has made a global US$ 1.5 billion commitment
to complement governments’ efforts globally to reduce the under-five mortality rate from 112
deaths to 54 deaths per 1,000 live births by the year 2015. Deaths are associated with diarrhoea,
pneumonia, childbirth complications, malaria and malnutrition.
Child Health Now in Tanzania has been launched in Mgera, Magamba, Mukulat and Nakombo
Area Development Programmes. The strategy for these programmes is to expand availability
and accessibility of critical health interventions for rural populations, improve their quality and
coverage, and also increase demand for maternal, neonatal and child health care services and align
with and support the National Road Map Strategic Plan to Accelerate Reduction of Maternal, Newborn
22
supports government drive to reduce child mortality
and Child Deaths in Tanzania (2008 – 2015).
In supporting communities, CHN seeks to raise their voices regarding their right to quality health care,
and will press the government to meet its responsibilities to children, mothers, families and communities.
As part of the CHN campaign, WVT actively took part in the World Breastfeeding International Week
on 1st – 7th August 2012 aimed at creating awareness on the importance of breast-feeding for infants
and young children. Sensitization meetings were held, particularly for parents, to raise awareness on
exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of a child’s life. Counselling sessions and advocacy
through the media were also held during that week. WVT joins hands with the government, NGOs at
different levels and other partners to collaboratively address the critical CHN health related issues in
specific communities.
