Major Alliance Education Centre, in short known as MAEC , is a region non-profit making, non-denominational, non-political and non- governmental organization whose headquarters are in Bukoba Municipal Council, Kagera region, Tanzania, East Africa. Its operational area is Kagera Region. It is currently operating in Bukoba Urban, with provision to expand in future. It was registered by the government of United Republic of Tanzania under the Tanzania NGO’s Act of 2002, bearing registration number 05NGO/1895 of 22/01/2007.

Major Alliance Education Centre hereinafter referred to as MAEC is women organisation  which is based in Bukoba Kagera region whereby this district is historically remembered to have the first three HIV/AIDS cases and hit extremely in early 1983. In the view point, several impacts including rise of number of orphans, most vulnerable children, widows and the people living with HIV/AIDS. Since then, there has been a great demand on orphans and widow basic needs, care and support. Parents and caregivers have not been able to afford living expenses for the increased number of orphans whose parents have died of AIDS. On the other hand, ill parents and caregivers have a burden of meeting educational, healthy and shelter costs for orphans and widows. Following these OVC needs and requirements, MAEC was founded in 2001 and then legally registered by the United Republic of Tanzania in January 2007 for the purpose of providing relief to orphans, most vulnerable children, and other vulnerable groups due to HIV/AIDS including widows, youth, people living with HIV/AIDS and women.

Either MAEC was established to provide the education of human rights to women and children,through community mobilization. That is because those vulnerable groups were not regarded in the community being exposed to highly discrimination e.g. employments and forced labor to orphans children which caused hard life to them and sometimes girls were raped by their employers while boys engaging in drug abuse as they regarded it as the solution to solve their problem.Gender education to the community was not left behind since most of our community girl children discriminated and neglected their rights e.g education and sometime are forced to be married in their ages.Therefore MAEC saw the only solution is to implement the project to the community members on gender abuses.

People living with HIV/AIDS especially widows were severely segregated and stigmatized as the sub human and some times neglected to inherit the wealth of their late husbands. Following to that MAEC was first proposed and then legally officially registered by the government to carry its activities in Kagera region.

Major Alliance Education Centre, katika short inayojulikana kama MAEC, ni mkoa ideella, mashirika yasiyo ya madhehebu, ya mambo ya siasa na shirika lisilo la kiserikali ambalo makao yake makuu ni katika Halmashauri ya Manispaa ya Bukoba, Kagera, Tanzania, Afrika Mashariki. Eneo lake la kazi ni Mkoa wa Kagera. Hivi sasa kazi katika Bukoba Mjini, na utoaji wa kupanua katika siku zijazo. Ni ilisajiliwa na serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania chini ya Sheria ya NGO ya Tanzania ya 2002, kuzaa namba za usajili 05NGO/1895 ya 22/01/2007.

Major Alliance Education Centre hapa itajulikana kama MAEC ni ya msingi katika kanda ya Bukoba Kagera ambapo wilaya hii ni ya kihistoria ya kumbukumbu ya kuwa na matukio matatu ya kwanza ya VVU / UKIMWI na hit mapema sana mwaka 1983. Katika hatua ya maoni, ikiwa ni pamoja na madhara kadhaa kupanda kwa idadi ya watoto yatima, watoto wanaoishi katika mazingira magumu zaidi, wajane na watu wanaoishi na VVU / UKIMWI. Tangu wakati huo, kumekuwa na mahitaji makubwa ya yatima mahitaji ya msingi, huduma na msaada. Wazazi na walezi kuwa haikuwa na uwezo wa kumudu gharama za maisha kwa kuongeza idadi ya watoto yatima ambao wazazi wao wamefariki kutokana na UKIMWI. Kwa upande mwingine, mgonjwa wazazi na walezi kuwa na mzigo wa mkutano wa elimu, gharama za afya na makazi kwa ajili ya watoto yatima. Kufuatia mahitaji haya OVC na mahitaji, MAEC ilianzishwa mwaka 2001 na kisha kisheria kusajiliwa na Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania mwezi Januari 2007 kwa lengo la kutoa misaada kwa watoto yatima, watoto wanaoishi katika mazingira magumu zaidi, na makundi mengine katika mazingira magumu kutokana na VVU / UKIMWI ikiwa ni pamoja na wale wajane, vijana, watu wanaoishi na VVU / UKIMWI na wanawake.

MAEC ama ilianzishwa kutoa elimu ya haki za binadamu kwa jamii, kwa njia ya uhamasishaji wa jamii. Hayo ni kwa sababu makundi hayo katika mazingira magumu walikuwa si kuonekana katika jamii kuwa wazi sana kwa ajira na ubaguzi kwa mfano kulazimishwa kwa watoto yatima ambayo yalisababisha maisha ngumu kwao na wakati mwingine wasichana wamebakwa na waajiri wao wakati wavulana kujihusisha na madawa ya kulevya kama wao kuonekana kama ufumbuzi wa kutatua problem.Gender yao ya elimu kwa jamii haikuachwa nyuma kutokana na wengi wa jamii ya watoto msichana wetu kubaguliwa na kupuuzwa haki zao kama vile elimu na wakati mwingine wanalazimika kuolewa katika MAEC yao ages.Therefore aliona suluhisho pekee ni kutekeleza mradi wa jamii juu ya ukiukwaji wa kijinsia.

Watu wanaoishi na VVU / UKIMWI hasa wajane walikuwa wametengwa na ukali stigmatized kama binadamu ndogo na mara baadhi usahau ya kurithi mali ya marehemu waume zao. Kufuatia kwa MAEC ambayo ilikuwa ya kwanza uliopendekezwa na kisha kisheria rasmi kwa serikali kufanya shughuli zake katika mkoa wa Kagera.
