In the end of the month of February, the TFFT team conducted a one-week media campaign advocating issues of Most Vulnerable Children and their access to quality education in Tanzania.

We conducted this campaign on 4 radio stations in Arusha. In addition to advocating the issue of most vulnerable children, the campaign also aimed to mobilize the community to participate and take action in addressing issues facing most vulnerable children, to be accountable for most vulnerable children, and to improve the quality education in Tanzania. We urged listeners to understand the current situation of education system in the country and rightly hold responsible those who are in position of authority in the education sector at different leadership levels.

This was also a call for the community to take action on addressing the challenges in the education system and also on most vulnerable children. We believe the community should release the notion that only the government and charity organizations should be the only ones working to improve the quality of education and supporting most vulnerable children and their households.

The campaign was held in 4 radio station each with a space of 1-hour interviews of the anchors and TFFT staff, Kennedy Oulu, Uswege Mwakapango, and myself, Anton Asukile. The radios were Radio 5 FM (@fmradio5), Mambo Jambo Radio (MJ93fm), Arusha One FM and Sunrise FM Radio (@sunrisefmradio). We used the hashtag  #TuwaleeTuwajibikeTuchukueHatua, Swahili for #CareBeAccountableTakeAction, for the campaign.
