Healthy Children, Brighter Futures: NHIF Coverage for Orphans and Vulnerable Kids in Tabora

On July 11, 2020, thanks to the generous support of our partners around the world, CODEWA successfully provided National Health Insurance Fund (#NHIF) coverage to orphans and vulnerable children in Tabora. This milestone ensures that these children can access reliable medical care whenever they fall ill, no matter their family’s financial situation. It is more than health insurance—it is a lifeline, a promise, and a foundation for their future.

Stories of Hope

For 12-year-old Amina, who lost both parents at a young age, a sudden illness used to mean missed school days and stressful trips to under-equipped clinics. “Now I don’t have to worry about going to the hospital,” she says with a shy but bright smile. “I can focus on my schoolwork and my dreams.”

Similarly, 10-year-old David, who lives in a household headed by his grandmother, often skipped routine medical checkups due to costs. “I feel safer now,” he says. “I know if I fall sick, I can get help.”

These stories reflect the real-life impact of health coverage: fewer obstacles, more learning opportunities, and a stronger sense of security for children and their families.

Health as the Foundation for Success
At CODEWA, we firmly believe that good physical and mental health is the cornerstone of education, resilience, and long-term success. A child struggling with preventable illnesses cannot fully participate in learning or community activities. By providing health insurance, we ensure that children can focus on their growth, education, and personal development without fear of illness derailing their future.

Impact on Families and Communities
NHIF coverage not only benefits the children directly but also reduces the stress and financial burden on caregivers. Families now have peace of mind knowing that their children’s health needs are secured, allowing them to invest more energy in education, nutrition, and emotional support. This initiative strengthens the fabric of the entire community, creating healthier, happier, and more confident children who are better equipped to pursue their dreams.

Pourquoi Cette Initiative Est Essentielle
Access to healthcare is a fundamental right and a critical enabler of opportunity. Vulnerable children often face compounding challenges—poverty, loss of caregivers, and limited access to resources. By addressing health barriers, CODEWA is removing a major obstacle to learning and personal growth, empowering children to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Perspectives d’Avenir
We are committed to expanding this initiative, reaching more orphans and vulnerable children across Tabora and beyond. Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, learn without interruption, and pursue a bright future.

Le Rôle Essentiel des Donateurs
This achievement was made possible thanks to the unwavering generosity of our partners and donors. Every contribution—financial support, advocacy, or volunteer effort—plays a vital role in safeguarding the health of vulnerable children.
