TUKUTANE is an indigenous, non-governmental and not for profit humanitarian organization incepted in 2012 by Tanzanian volunteers who committed to promote a proactive strategy of poverty alleviation, aimed at supporting women and children, and keeping families intact.

     Women bear almost all responsibility for meeting needs of the family, yet they are systematically denied from all resources, information and freedom of action they need to fullfill this responsibility. The majority of country's poor populations are women; two-thirds of the Tanzanias' illiterates are females, and studies also show that, HIV/AIDS is rapidily becoming a woman's disease. In Tanzania, three-quarters of all young people living with HIV are women.

     From the thousands of school age children who are deprived from going to school, the majority of them are girls. The current country food price crisis is having a severe impact on women and children. In our country, thousands of people eat two or three times a day, but a significant percentage of women and children eat only once. In fact many women skip their one time meal to ensure that their children are fed. These women are already suffering the effects of even more severe malnutrition, which innevitably will be their children's fate as well. The impact of this crisis is clearly visible on the children. They are often abandoned by their suffering mothers. If not abandoned they are abused and exploited.

     Studies have shown that when women are supported and empowered then the who society gets benefited. Because of which their families remain healthy, more children attend schools, agricultural productivity improves and family income increase. In short, communities become more resilient.

      TUKUTANE firmly believes that empowering women and children would be the agent that proves to be an essential element for achieving the end of hunger and poverty. We support women and children and build their capacity. TUKUTANE envisages Tanzania where all women and children have access to their rights and have privilege to development; and are protected from all forms of harassment and exploitation.

TUKUTANE ni asili, mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali na si kwa faida ya kibinadamu shirika kwa hapa nchini 2012 na wafanyakazi wa kujitolea wa Tanzania ambao nia ya kukuza mkakati makini wa kupunguza umaskini, kwa lengo la kusaidia wanawake na watoto, na kutunza familia intact.

Wanawake kubeba karibu wote wajibu kwa ajili ya mkutano mahitaji ya familia, lakini wao ni haufanyiki kutokana na rasilimali zote, habari na uhuru wa utekelezaji wanahitaji fullfill jukumu hili. Wengi wa wakazi wa nchi maskini ni wanawake; theluthi mbili ya watanzania kutokujua 'ni wanawake, na masomo pia kuonyesha kwamba, VVU / UKIMWI rapidily kuwa ugonjwa wa mwanamke. Nchini Tanzania, robo tatu ya vijana wote wanaoishi na VVU ni wanawake.

Kutoka kwa maelfu ya watoto wenye umri wa shule ambao wananyimwa kutoka kwenda shule, wengi wao ni wasichana. sasa nchi chakula bei mgogoro una madhara makubwa kwa wanawake na watoto. Katika nchi yetu, maelfu ya watu kula mara mbili au tatu kwa siku, lakini asilimia kubwa ya wanawake na watoto kula mara moja tu. Kwa kweli wanawake wengi ruka zao moja wakati wa mlo ili kuhakikisha kuwa watoto wao ni kulishwa. Wanawake hawa tayari wanaosumbuliwa na madhara ya utapiamlo hata kali zaidi, ambayo itakuwa innevitably hatma ya watoto wao pia. Athari za mgogoro huu ni wazi wazi juu ya watoto. Wao mara nyingi imetelekezwa na mama zao mateso. Kama siyo kutelekezwa wao wananyanyaswa na kudhulumiwa.

Uchunguzi umeonyesha kwamba wakati wanawake ni mkono na kuwezeshwa basi ambaye jamii anapata kunufaika. Kwa sababu ya mambo familia zao kuwa na afya njema, zaidi watoto wanahudhuria shule, inaboresha uzalishaji wa kilimo na familia ongezeko mapato. Kwa kifupi, jamii kuwa zaidi resilient.

TUKUTANE imara anaamini kwamba kuwawezesha wanawake na watoto itakuwa wakala kwamba inathibitisha kuwa kipengele muhimu kwa ajili ya kufikia mwisho wa njaa na umaskini. Sisi kusaidia wanawake na watoto na kujenga uwezo wao. Inalenga TUKUTANE Tanzania ambapo wote wanawake na watoto wanapata haki zao na kuwa na fursa ya maendeleo; na kulindwa dhidi ya aina zote za unyanyasaji na unyonyaji.
