“I learned from CHF’s maternal health sessions when to start antenatal care, what danger signs to look for and how to prepare for birth. And the health workers we trained at our dispensary are more helpful and explain things clearly. I arrived safe and my baby is fine. Mother of two children”

Zahara K.,Patient · Dar es Salaam

“In a CHF mental well-being session, I realized that stress, sadness, and anxiety are common and treatable. The counselors helped me develop coping strategies and connect to support. I now speak up when I am overwhelmed and encourage others to do the same.”

Baraka S., Youth Leader.Youth Beneficiary · Morogoro

“At a CHF youth session, I learned about contraception, STIs, and consent in a safe, non-judgmental space. I was able to ask questions I was too shy to ask at the clinic. Now I use family planning confidently and share what I learned with my friends. University student, Dar es Salaam”

Tatu M.,Youth Beneficiary · Dar es Salaam

“Following a CHF nutrition talk in our village, I learned how to prepare balanced meals from local foods. I began to offer my child a wider variety of foods and smaller, more frequent meals. Then at the next growth monitoring session, the nurse said my child had gained weight and was on track. Coast Region”

Asha J.,Woman Beneficiary · Coast Region

“At a CHF GBV awareness session, I learned that violence is not normal and that help exists. The counselors guided me to safety, legal support, and counseling. Today, I am rebuilding my life and helping other women recognize warning signs.”

Amina J., Survivor and Peer Supporter.Youth Beneficiary · Iringa

“CHF trained our group in basic business skills, savings, and record-keeping. We started a joint enterprise selling food products and now support each other with school fees and medical bills. We feel more secure about the future.”
