From 18 - 22 May 2026, 14 police officers serving under the Gender and Children’s Desk in Mwanza successfully completed a five-day specialist training on child sexual abuse interviewing and crime scene forensics, delivered through a partnership between Railway Children Africa (RCA) and the College of Policing.

Railway Children will join partners from the Rooted Futures collaboration at the 2026 Skoll World Forum to lead an interactive session on family strengthening and child protection reform.

More than 25 million Tanzanians are living in extreme poverty, leaving many young women and girls vulnerable to hunger, family breakdown, and abuse.

We’re proud to announce the launch of 14 new support desks across Tanzania, along with national guidelines for supporting vulnerable people.

Learn about how we help families repair relationships and move forward together.

It is with profound shock and sadness that we announce that Mussa Mgata, our Executive Director for Railway Children Africa, passed away.

Railway Children Africa is collaborating with the Government of Tanzania on care reform workshops.
