Markus Bütler, Programme Coordinator Tanzania
terre des hommes switzerland has been active in Tanzania for over 20 years. Much has been achieved during this time. Especially in the last three years the country programme Tanzania has successfully developed: In 2009, terre des hommes schweiz supported five projects of different partner organisations, at the end of 2012 it was their eight. Statistically speaking, in 2012 alone, a good 20,000 beneficiaries, mostly children and young people, were reached in various ways. Behind this figure lies a multifaceted commitment involving a wide range of actors.
Good grades
Especially in the field of psychosocial support, terre des hommes schweiz, in cooperation with its partner organisations in Tanzania, has so far done a lot of pioneering work: Milestones of recent years are the solution-oriented approach initiated by terre des hommes schweiz and the project "World in Books", which have triggered a promising development dynamic and are now attracting great international interest.
