Kupitia kipindi cha watoto cha Bam Bam kinachorushwa na Afya Radio, leo Oktoba 17, wanahabari watoto wamezungumzia jukumu la wazazi katika kuhakikisha watoto wanapata lishe bora kwa ajili ya ukuaji na afya zao.

Katika mazungumzo hayo, wanahabari watoto wameeleza tofauti kati ya lishe na lishe bora, wakisisitiza umuhimu wa watoto kupata chakula chenye virutubisho mbalimbali vinavyosaidia kujenga mwili, kuupa nguvu na kuulinda dhidi ya magonjwa.

From Regional Dialogue to National Action: Investing in Care! 🇹🇿

Fewer than 5% of children under five in Tanzania access formal childcare services. It's time to change that! Read our recent research Tanzania’s Childcare Ecosystem: Gaps, Challenges, and Opportunities – Tanzania Early Childhood Development Network (TECDEN) https://www.tecden.or.tz/tanzanias-childcare-ecosystem-gaps-challenges-and-opportunities/

As we approach the International Day of Care and Support (29 October), TECDEN reflects on key conversations from the Africa Childcare Forum 2026 in Mombasa, Kenya, where our Project Officer, Christopher Peter, joined African stakeholders to advance quality, affordable, and inclusive childcare.

TECDEN is contributing to change through:

🏡 Strengthening community-based Malezi Centres.

📊 Advancing evidence-based childcare policies and investment.

🤝 Promoting partnerships and a skilled childcare workforce.

💚 Care is essential work. Investing in childcare means investing in children, caregivers, women's economic empowerment, and Tanzania's future.

📢 Let's turn commitments into action and build stronger care systems for all!

INTERVIEW YA KAZI 😀😀

Kufanya kazi na kulea watoto ni mambo yanayopaswa kwenda pamoja! ❤️👶

Ni muhimu kwa wazazi kuwapeleka watoto kwenye vituo salama vya kulelea watoto mchana (Day Care Centres) vinavyotoa malezi, makuzi na maendeleo bora ya awali. Mazingira salama yanayochochea ujifunzaji kupitia michezo na mwingiliano huwasaidia watoto kukua na kujifunza, huku wazazi wakiendelea na shughuli zao za uzalishaji mali wakiwa na utulivu wa moyo.

Mtoto anahitaji malezi bora, na mzazi anahitaji fursa ya kufanya kazi na kujenga maisha ya familia. Tuwekeze katika vituo salama na vyenye ubora kwa maendeleo ya kila mtoto na ustawi wa familia.
