Issues affecting children and young people in Tanzania
In Tanzania, approximately six million children aged 0-14 years live below the basic needs poverty line, and approximately 2.8 million children fall below the food poverty line (HBS, 2008). Chronic malnutrition in Tanzania remains endemic, and nearly 3 out of every 10 females aged 13 to 24 reported experiencing at least one incident of sexual violence before turning 18.
