Africa Bridge’s approach to helping orphaned and vulnerable children is unique, innovative and effective. We are guided by the following core principals:
1. All of Africa Bridge’s projects are based on extensive feedback and input from local people. Our projects are designed by Africans for Africans and are implemented by local partners.
2. On all projects, Africa Bridge encourages men, women and children, the literate and illiterate, to come together as equals to discover their common ground through honest and open dialogue. Only then do they make concrete action plans.
3. Africa Bridge acknowledges Africa’s deep values of community and relationship, while recognizing the need to draw up Western resources and technologies. Fundamental to all of our work is the belief and practice of helping to facilitate local solutions to local problems.
4. A stronger economy leads to stronger families. Africa Bridge strives to strengthen families so that they can become empowered, economically secure and develop the capacity to protect and nurture vulnerable children.
Improving the Environment: Africa Bridge improves the local environment in Tanzania through its partnerships with the local community and ReTree International by teaching children about trees and how to plant them.
Income Generation: Africa Bridge empowers local families, including families who foster orphaned children, through supporting micro-loan opportunities with agriculture and farm animal cooperatives and education programs.
Improving health: Africa Bridge improves the health of orphans and families in Tanzania by working with local health providers, by educating teenage Peer Health Educators about HIV/AIDS, general health and hygiene, and by establishing Most Vulnerable Children Committees throughout the region.
