CAFLO is a
catalyst for development. Together we can make a difference.
We envision a vibrant society of people living peacefully,
healthily and with a better quality of life through education, socio-economic
development and respecting human rights. CAFLO promotes this in families and
communities by empowering people to overcome challenges facing them such as
disease, poverty/unemployment, malnourishment, physical and mental handicaps,
gender inequalities, domestic violence, child abuse, drug/alcohol abuse, sexual
abuse and illegal trafficking. As Tanzania is East Africa’s most populated
country (nearly 45 million) with about 75% of the population living in rural
areas, we located our main office directly
within the rural-urban community (Ilala district, Dar es Salaam) in order to be
as accessible as possible to those who need the most help. Our efforts
target the most vulnerable and impoverished, with a strong focus on children,
youth and women. We provide support through community outreach projects,
counselling, education, advocating health, campaigning for human rights and
fostering economic wellbeing through capacity skills education for
self-reliability resulting in improved quality of life and sustainable
community changes.
