Activities

• Gathering and “Storytelling” that help to build social life skills

• Networking with other groups to increase the effectiveness of lobbying and advocacy
• Do research on child development

Also, Adilisha is implementing an IPEC supported project with the broad development goal of contributing to the progressive reduction and
eventual elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor (WFCL) in Tanzania. Following the realization that increasingly, more children are involved in worst forms of child labour, particularly in the fishing communities of Mwanza region, it was imperative that an initiative be introduced to ameliorate the plight the children are in.
