Our Story
A powerful vision
In the heart of Tanzania, a vision emerged to transform the future of our youngest generation. Recognizing that 53% of children aged 2-5 from low-income families face significant developmental delays, Joel Elphas founded the organization.Our journey began with a profound realization: every child deserves the support to thrive in their formative years. Believing that change starts at home, we set out to empower parents, caregivers, and preschool teachers with the tools needed to nurture children’s health, learning, and emotional well-being.
At TECEC, we understand that early years are critical—they shape not only the child’s future but also the community at large.

Testimonials
Before joining the early stimulation program, my baby wasn’t reaching some milestones like holding her head up and responding to sounds. The support we received at the health center helped her develop faster. Now, she’s sitting up, babbling, and showing more curiosity. Thank you, TECEC! Sarah, a Mother of 6-month baby
