About Us

Who We Are

The Nurturing Care Alliance (NCA) is advancing the integration of climate resilience into early childhood development in Tanzania. We work at the critical intersection of climate change, child health, and nurturing care, ensuring that young children can survive, grow, and thrive despite increasing environmental challenges.

Through climate-responsive health and nutrition services, caregiver empowerment, early climate education, and youth-led advocacy, we are strengthening communities to protect Tanzania’s youngest generation while building a more resilient future.

Our work is grounded in evidence, partnerships, and community leadership, placing caregivers and children at the center of sustainable development.

Our Vision

A climate-resilient Tanzania where every young child thrives with the nurturing care required to reach their full developmental potential.

Our Mission

To safeguard early childhood development in Tanzania by integrating climate-responsive, health-focused, and community-driven interventions into holistic nurturing care programs.

What We Do

We safeguard early childhood development in climate-affected communities through integrated, community-driven approaches.

Climate-Responsive Health & Nutrition

We integrate child health, nutrition, responsive caregiving, and early learning into climate-resilient systems that protect children’s physical and cognitive development during environmental shocks.

Community Resilience & Caregiver Support

We equip caregivers, community health workers, and local leaders with climate-adaptive skills, peer support networks, and access to climate-smart resources for nurturing care.

Early Climate Education

We introduce age-appropriate environmental learning in early childhood settings, helping young children understand and adapt to their changing environment from the earliest years.

Safe, Climate-Adaptive Environments

We promote inclusive and protective spaces that uphold children’s rights to survive, grow, and thrive despite climate-related risks.

Youth-Led Advocacy & Policy Integration

We mobilize youth voices to ensure children under five are recognized in climate policies, National Adaptation Plans, and health and education systems.
