About the foundation

Transforming lives in Nyegezi, Mwanza

Nihurumie Child Group Organization (NCG) is a community-based organization founded in 2019 and registered under Tanzania's NGO Act No. 24 of 2002. We support children, youth and vulnerable groups — including children with disabilities and adolescent girls — promoting their rights, dignity and access to opportunities across six streets in the Nyegezi neighborhood.

Mission

To provide quality, inclusive and equitable education, together with accessible and specialized physiotherapy and occupational therapy services, for vulnerable children and youth in the Nyegezi neighborhood, in the city of Mwanza.

Vision

That every vulnerable child and youth reaches their full potential — improving their physical, mental and social well-being, preventing disabilities and restoring their dignity and confidence.

Values

Transparency and accountability, integrity, teamwork, equity and inclusion, gender sensitivity, child protection, innovation and sustainability.

Why Nyegezi Ward?

A critical entry point into Mwanza City

Nyegezi hosts a major bus terminal where thousands arrive daily from across Tanzania. For many vulnerable children it becomes the first point of contact with urban life — and often the beginning of life on the streets, with no shelter and no protection. NCG is often their first lifeline back to education, family and a future.

2017

A growing crisis

Street violence, child labor, neglect and exploitation in Nyegezi reached critical levels — calling for urgent community-based action.

2018

Building trust through play

Volunteer teachers organized sports and games on Nchenga street, creating a safe space where children could feel valued and share their stories.

2019

Officially registered

Nihurumie Child Group (NCG) was registered as a CBO (No. MCC/CD/CBO/113051), expanding to education, family outreach and psychosocial support.
