Safe Heroes Tanzania

Here’s to the every day #SafeHeroes. From a forward-looking UNICEF child protection officer to a courageous young survivor turned DREAMS Ambassador, from a tireless community advocate to a doctor working in a one-stop center, these unsung heroes show us that tackling global problems starts with individual action.

Our team recently got to see this work first-hand while traveling to Tanzania. There we met amazing individuals and organizations who are working tirelessly across sectors on violence prevention and response. From a forward-looking UNICEF child protection officer to a courageous young survivor turned DREAMS Ambassador, from a tireless community advocate to a doctor working in a one-stop center, these unsung heroes show us that tackling global problems starts with individual action.

These stories offer us hope and remind us that we all have a role to play in helping end violence against children and youth. Let these heroes serve as inspiration for us all to keep working each and every day toward a safer world.
