Reaching Children's Potential Tanzania

Welcoming the November 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 four babies born in November 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.


Four beautiful babies were born to RCP mothers in November 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, Justine, Glory, and one baby girl who has not yet been named!

Catherine Mtenga was born on November 8 to RCP mom Eva Kilave from Ukwega village. Catherine weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces, had a head circumference of 13.8 inches, and measured 19.3 inches long. Baby girl Catherine is the first born in her family. Eva joined the RCP Program in June 2021 when she was four months pregnant with Catherine.

Baby boy Justine has four siblings: brother Nyenyea (age 14), sister Abariki (age 14), brother Ezekiel (age 12), and brother Samwel (age 3). Agnes joined the RCP Program in August 2017.
