About the Campaign

Global Campaign – It Takes a World to End Violence Against Children

In March 2017, World Vision International launched a five-year global campaign to contribute to ending violence against children. The campaign responds to an issue that affects over one billion children every year in every country including Tanzania. It is a problem that not only harms each child but jeopardizes their future survival, health and education.
