Dodoma, Tanzania | 12 September 2026
Potential Pioneer Initiatives (PPI) successfully hosted a Parent Engagement Session on 12 September 2026 at Resort Jeshini, Ihumwa – Dodoma, bringing together parents and guardians for an important conversation on the role of parents in identifying, nurturing and developing children’s potential, talents and skills.
The session was part of PPI’s broader commitment to supporting children and young people to discover their abilities, develop practical skills and grow into purposeful and empowered individuals.
Why Parental Involvement Matters
Parents and guardians play a critical role in a child’s development. They are often the first people to notice a child’s interests, strengths, abilities and challenges.
A child may demonstrate strong potential in sports, arts, technology, leadership, communication, entrepreneurship, creativity or other areas. However, that potential may remain undiscovered if the child is not given opportunities to explore, practice, learn and demonstrate what they can do.Parents and guardians play a critical role in a child’s development.
