TECEC efforts and resources target communities where the needs are greatest to deliver quality early childhood development to help children be developmentally on track by achieving the minimum number of milestones expected for their age group.
53% of children aged 2-5 in low income families in Tanzania are experiencing developmental delays in health, learning, and psychosocial well-being. These delays can have long-lasting consequences, affecting their future opportunities and success.
