Cash transfer and psychosocial support for older people and their grandchildren
Kwa Wazee working with the elderly to promote pension programmes in Kagera Region, Tanzania. Kwa Wazee, which started in November 2003 with a small number of beneficiaries, has since gradually extended to over 900 grandparents, who were caring for over 500 orphans by now.
Feedback from the elderly, as well as studies undertaken amongst beneficiaries shows that even the modest pension provided by Kwa Wazee makes a significant difference in the lives of the supported grandmothers as well as the children in their care.
A permanent evaluation of the project is designed to show how a system of pensions for the impoverished households could be implemented in other regions which are severely affected by HIV/AIDS.
