Child developmental needs first
All decisions are guided by the developmental needs of children aged 0–8, with emphasis on brain development, safety, and long-term wellbeing.
About us
Built around the needs of Tanzania's youngest children
NurtureNest Africa exists to make sure that where a child is born does not decide how far they can go.
Our vision
A future where every child in Tanzania aged 0–8 reaches their full developmental potential.
Our mission
We improve early childhood development for children aged 0–8 by strengthening early learning and caregiving practices and improving access to nutrition in underserved communities.
Our principles
What guides every decision
2
Caregiving as the foundation
We recognize caregiving practices as the driver of early childhood development and design all interventions to strengthen caregivers.
3
Integrated approach to wellbeing
We address early learning, caregiving, and nutrition as interconnected elements of child development.
4
Systems thinking for scale
We design solutions that work within and strengthen existing systems — government structures, public spaces, and community institutions — for long-term sustainability and scalability.
5
Partnership-driven impact
We actively collaborate with government, communities, and development partners to co-create and sustain solutions for integrated early childhood development services.
Five principles.
One promise: children first.
