As a committed and trusted Children’s rights NGO, CDF’s Child Protection and Participation Program works to ensure that all children in Tanzania grow up safe, heard, and free from harm.
In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 3: Good Health, 4: Quality Education, and 5: Gender Equality), the program strengthens both formal and informal child protection and participation systems across the country.
By partnering with government institutions, communities, and key stakeholders, CDF empowers both duty-bearers and right-holders with tools and knowledge to prevent and respond to abuse, neglect, exploitation, and harmful practices. Whether through our anti-FGM campaigns, efforts to stop child marriage, or broader child advocacy and protection work, CDF remains committed to protecting vulnerable children and building resilient support networks.
