Reaching Children's Potential Tanzania

Welcoming the July RCP Newborns in Tanzania

What’s more fun than BABIES? In this series, we focus on the newest members of the Reaching Children’s Potential (RCP) Demonstration Program in Tanzania — newborns. In this post, we welcome six babies born in July 2021. Their moms joined the program to provide them a healthy start at life, and the nutrition and care needed to grow strong and realize their potential. Global Volunteers’ RCP Program helps parents deliver essential services to eliminate child stunting in the Ukwega Ward. It’s a child-focused, parent-driven, family-centered, and community-led comprehensive effort beginning with pregnancy, and continuing through the 18th birthday, with a focus on the first 1,000 days of life.


Six beautiful babies were born to RCP mothers in July at the Ipalamwa General Clinic. RCP moms are encouraged to give birth at Global Volunteers’ healthcare facility and are invited to stay in the guest house before and after the birth. Please join us in welcoming Catherine, Efraimu, Onesmo, and three very recent newborns who have not yet been named!

Catherine Kikoti was born to Amriwe Makukulu on July 5, 2021. Amriwe is an RCP mom from Mkalanga village who joined the program in April 2021. Baby girl Catherine weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces, had a head circumference of 13.0 inches, and measured 19.7 inches long. Catherine is the first born in her family.
