KidzInAction is a Salvation Army child-led social action programme through which children get to make a positive difference in their world. This can be a difference in local, national or global situations and children generate their own project ideas and implement them.

Through engaging with this programme, the Tweenagers of Chatham corps decided they want to do more than just something local – they want to think BIG! As a group of 11, the Tweenagers unanimously decided they want to make a positive difference in other CHILDREN’s lives, in EDUCATION and in AFRICA.

Matumaini is a primary boarding school for disabled and albino children. Operating for over 20 years, Matumaini is the largest school of its kind in the country. Nearly 200 children are attending the school from communities around Tanzania.

Located at the Salvation Army property in Temeke, Matuamaini maintains the highest educational standards as set by the Ministry of Education. But in addition to education, they provide physical therapy and at the same time operate a workshop for the manufacturing and repair of walking appliances and chairs.
