POA NYUMBANI
HOPE • HEAL • HOME
KARIBU TANZANIA. ANZA. ISHI.
Coming home is not the end of the journey.
It is an opportunity to heal, rebuild and live again.
A PERSON CAN RETURN TO TANZANIA IN ONE DAY.
COMING HOME CAN TAKE MUCH LONGER.
POA Nyumbani exists to complete that journey.
100 Smiles
100 New Beginnings
Our flagship initiative. Sometimes rebuilding a life begins with restoring a smile. Dental problems affect confidence, speech, eating, employment prospects, social interaction and self-esteem. Through 100 Smiles, we're restoring dignity — one smile at a time.

One Platform.

The POA ERP system connects every part of the reintegration journey — from case management and health referrals to skills matching, donor CRM, and real-time impact tracking. A single source of truth for returnees, case managers, partners, and donors.
Coming home should mean coming back to hope
Thousands of Tanzanians travel abroad looking for opportunity. For some, the journey becomes difficult. Returning home after unemployment, financial hardship, illness, trauma, family separation or homelessness can be challenging.
POA Nyumbani exists to help vulnerable returnees restore their health, confidence, relationships and economic independence.
We don't simply ask:
"Why did you come back?"
We ask:
"What do you need to start again?"
