From a vision born in 2005 to a thriving organization serving thousands of children across Tanzania.
Unlock a Child’s Potential (UaCP), formerly known as Childreach Tanzania until 2020, was founded on a simple but powerful vision: “every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential”.
The idea was first inspired in 2005 when our founder Mr. Firoz Patel witnessed the challenges faced by children in the Kilimanjaro region, including limited access to education and healthcare and the absence of safe, supportive environments.
In April 2009, we officially opened our country office in Moshi, Kilimanjaro, and by 2012, the organization became a fully registered local charity. Guided by Tanzanian leadership, the organization grew into an independent entity while continuing to collaborate with international partners.
From the outset, our work has been community-driven. We began by supporting schools with critical infrastructure, including classrooms, toilets, kitchens, and clean water facilities. Over time, we expanded our initiatives to include child rights clubs, nutrition projects, and specialized support for children with disabilities.
