Fourteen youths graduated in a training session on governance organized by Compassion. |
Compassion International Tanzania Chapter has taken the initiative to train future leaders from grassroot level In order to solve the current problem of having political contestants who fall short of what is required of them in leadership.
The President for Compassion International
(Africa), Mr Sydney Muisyo said in Arusha last week that at the
moment many leaders arise from politicians who simply campaign for
posts based on popularity but many lack basic leadership skills,
diplomacy know-how and have little idea on how to handle their subjects
or community as whole.
Mr Muisyo was speaking during the Compassion
International’s Leadership Development Program (LDP) first Graduation
event in which a total of 14 youngsters graduated in a training
session on governance.
For the last 16 years, Compassion International has
been supporting Tanzanian children from poor families by providing them
with basic Primary and Secondary education and also seeing the
promising ones to higher levels of learning.
Compassion Tanzania’s Country Director Ms Agnes Hotay said the organization which set foot in the country in 1999 starting from Arusha has seen a total of 40 youth beneficiaries graduating from University education.

children throughout Tanzania and we have been taking under our care
those as young as three years up to seven years and many are now
fully-grown and independent adults,” stated Ms Hotay.
She explained that the Leadership Development
Program (LDP) started in 2012 beginning with 20 students and 14 have
graduated while 6 others are still undertaking their training.

the youth should seek vacancies in government and Non-government
institutions.
