  2. REACHING THE POOR VIA CHF • INTRODUCTION The Catholic Diocese of Kigoma lies on the western part of Tanzania & covers the same political boundaries of Kigoma Region. Its headquarters lie on the shores of Lake Tanganyika (Find attached the map of Kigoma Rural)

  3. BACK GROUND TO PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN DIEOCESE KIGOMA AND CHF KIGOMA RURAL • Identification of the most vulnerable children was started in march 2006. • The exercise was undertake by SATF consultant in collaboration with the District Executive Director and the Diocese of Kigoma. • The reports from the exercise showed many MVCS had health problems too.

  4. BACK GROUND TO PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN DIEOCESE KIGOMA AND CHF KIGOMA RURAL • Having seen this need the Diocese Kigoma approached CHF Kigoma for partnership in order to help the MVCS and their families. • The agreement was reached between Diocese Kigoma and CHF and MOU was signed on 6th April 2006. • Then the DK began providing funds in CHF A/C in ten installments. The total amount deposited was 50,245,000/= which is equivalent to 10,049 members (MVCs). The area covered is the 55 villages of Kigoma Rural.

  8. SUCCESS • Some MVCs have already received service. • Mechanism to support the MVCs through CHF has been established.

  9. PROBLEMS • Some children reported back to the diocese after failing to get services related to referral cases even within Kigoma. • The CHF cards made so far are not enough. • It is very difficulty to get pictures from the children living in remote areas. • We lack the means of transport for monitoring and evaluation

  10. WAY FORWARD • The programme to serve the MVCs is of 5 years which started last year. • The no of CHF MVC will be increasing depending on the Funds we get. • The aspect of partnership between Diocese Kigoma and CHF should be nourished. • In future we would like to get more co-operation from the CHF executives.

  11. WAY FORWARD • The MVCs are all over in Kigoma Region. So if we get fund we plan to extend our service to other district namely Kasulu and Kibondo.

  12. CONCLUSION • The Dk is very grateful for the donors who enable us to reach the MVCs. • We would like to thank the government officials who have helped us in the whole process of identifying the MVCs in Kigoma Rural. • On behalf of the Catholic Diocese of Kigoma I thank you all
