Early childhood shapes the foundation for emotional, cognitive, and social growth, yet many Tanzanian children grow up without active fathers, especially in low-income and single-parent households. Studies reveal that over half of Tanzanian children experience developmental delays, while 80 percent of single parents are mothers. Experts stress that fatherhood is irreplaceable in shaping confidence, identity, and moral values. Promoting gender equality and child well-being, therefore, requires redefining fatherhood and strengthening men’s engagement in parenting from the earliest years.
