1.5. Problem Statement
Tanzania like in many other sub-Saharan African countries, MSM, DA and commercial sex work has been rampant while at the same time not legalized and rather a criminal offence. Religion, community, Government and traditional leaders are criticizing the existence of these groups. Nevertheless, the profession is growing rapidly each passing day this is justified by the study carried down by the TAWIF which revealed the estimates of three thousands of commercial sex workers including MSM and WSW in Kinondoni Municipality out of 1.5 million people residing in the area
In 2008/09, TAWIF has been implementing a comprehensive Prevention of HIV/AIDS among CSWs, including Men having sex with Men and Drug Abusers in Kinondoni Municipality. However in the course of implementing the said project, experience revealed that, contrary to developed countries where this group get involved in this out of their choice, in developing countries particularly Tanzania Men having Sex with Men, Commercial sex workers and Drug abusers are the victims of the circumstances including poverty, being sodomised by the family members, religious leaders and teachers at very early ages mostly below ten years old.
The heartbreaking narrative about it is that once the parents or guardians realized that, their children have been trapped into it at a very late stage, they chase them out of the family. The society at large criminalizes them and curses them. They have no solace other than finding their peers. The same society which subject them into this victimization and vulnerability is the same which are the fore front at illegalizing, discriminating and stigmatizing them, the situation does not give any room to have any other alternatives and that is why significant number of this group that we are dealing with are eager to gate chance for the rehabilitation but the environment is no friendly in all perspective including community, government civil society organization illegal and regulatory frame work etc. As a result of this, most female youngsters gave birth to children who followed the same channel of either being an MSM, WSW, DA or CSW which threatens the future of our young generations.
Throughout the implementation of this project, TAWIF learnt a number of lessons as follows:
Most parents do not have time to discuss with their children on day to day life , the assumption of an African context is that a child is can be taken care with any community member so long as he/she is accessible to the child. This was proved to be very un practical since we found out that, most family/community members do not play their roles but rather spoil children and hence the influx of MSM, CSWs and drug abusers

On that ground then, Since TAWIF realizes that, MSM, CSW and DA are illegal in Tanzania. It is high time for a comprehensive educative project be implemented to raise community awareness on the contributory factors accelerating these groups to emerge. TAWIF will focus its intervention on the proper parental care and the importance of stopping extended families to all involved stakeholders including parents, teachers, guardians, other CSOs, religious institutions and the entire community of Kinondoni and Magomeni wards.

1.5. Taarifa ya tatizo
Tanzania kama ilivyo katika nchi nyingine za Afrika kusini mwa Sahara, MSM, DA na biashara ya ngono imekuwa wakati rampant kwa wakati huo huo si legalized na badala ya kosa la jinai. Dini, jamii, Serikali na viongozi wa jadi ni kukosoa kuwepo kwa makundi hayo. Hata hivyo, taaluma ni kukua kwa kasi kila siku kupita hii ni haki kwa utafiti uliofanywa chini kwa TAWIF ambayo umebaini makadirio ya maelfu ya tatu ya wafanyakazi wa biashara ya ngono ikiwa ni pamoja na MSM na WSW katika Manispaa ya Kinondoni nje ya watu milioni 1.5 wanaoishi katika eneo
Mwaka 2008/09, TAWIF imekuwa ikitekeleza Kuzuia ya kina ya VVU / UKIMWI miongoni mwa CSWs, ikiwa ni pamoja na ngono Wanaume kuwa na watu na Madawa Abusers katika Manispaa ya Kinondoni. Hata hivyo katika kutekeleza mradi alisema, uzoefu umeonyesha kuwa, kinyume na nchi zilizoendelea ambapo kundi hili kushiriki katika hii nje ya uchaguzi wao, katika nchi zinazoendelea hasa Tanzania Wananchi kuwa na mapenzi na watu, biashara ya ngono wafanyakazi na Madawa abusers ni waathirika ya mazingira ikiwa ni pamoja na umaskini, kuwa sodomized na wajumbe wa familia, viongozi wa dini na walimu katika umri mdogo chini ya miaka kumi zaidi ya zamani.
Hadithi heartbreaking juu yake ni kwamba mara ya wazazi au walezi kutambua kuwa, watoto wao wamekuwa trapped ndani yake katika hatua ya kuchelewa sana, wao baada yao nje ya familia. Jamii kwa ujumla criminalizes yao laana na wao. Hawana furaha zaidi ya kutafuta wenzao. Ya jamii hiyo ambayo chini yao katika hali hii ya uonevu na mazingira magumu ni sawa na ambayo ni ya mbele mbele katika illegalizing, ubaguzi na kunyanyapaa yao, hali haitoi nafasi yoyote ya kuwa na njia mbadala yoyote na kwamba ni kwa nini idadi kubwa ya kundi hili kwamba sisi ni kushughulika na ni nia ya lango nafasi kwa ajili ya ukarabati lakini hakuna mazingira ya kirafiki katika mtazamo wote ikiwa ni pamoja na jamii, serikali ya kiraia shirika jamii kinyume cha sheria na kanuni frame kazi nk Kutokana na hayo, wengi wa kike Vijana amejifungua watoto ambao walifuata Channel huo wa ama kuwa ni MSM, WSW, DA au CSW na kutishia mustakabali wa vizazi vijana wetu.
Katika utekelezaji wa mradi huu, TAWIF kujifunza idadi ya masomo kama ifuatavyo:
Wazazi wengi hawana muda wa kujadili na watoto wao juu ya siku ya maisha siku, dhana ya mazingira ya Afrika ni kwamba mtoto anaweza kuchukuliwa huduma na mwanachama yeyote wa jamii ya muda mrefu kama yeye ni kupatikana kwa mtoto. Hii ilikuwa imeonekana kuwa vitendo un sana tangu tuligundua kwamba, wengi familia / jamii wala kucheza majukumu yao lakini badala ya watoto nyara na hivyo kufurika kwa MSM,...
