On June 27, the Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) released a documentary "Forced Begging: The Children of Tanzania Being Trafficking", which secretly investigated the Tanzania's population sales network.

According to the documentary, many Tanzanian parents were deceived and thought that "good people" could take their children away to a better life. But on the contrary, the children were stolen to Kenya. They were forced to begging on the street, and all the money they asked was confiscated by the traffickers.

In the documentary, a child said, "If I can't bring a lot of money, I will be beaten."

Half of FARA's lives with disabilities of legs were slavered by people. When he was taken to Kenya, he was controlled and could not contact his family.

Fara said his mother was promised to receive economic funding, so his mother allowed him to be taken to Kenya. But in the end, the mother did not get money.

During the day, Fara was pushed to all parts of the urban area with a wheelchair. At night, the trafficker gangs took him back to civilians. All the money he asked for the day was confiscated. There are many situations like Fara.

A family in Tanzania gave her 9 -year -old daughter Kurwa to the traffic gang in 2017. Kurwa's parents introduced that those who trafficking gangs promised that if their daughter could ask for money, they would send the money back.

But this family has not received any money so far, and there is no news from her daughter.

Tanzania is located in eastern Africa, south of the equator, and borders Kenya north. It is one of the most developed countries announced by the United Nations.

According to a report on Tanzania in 2021, traffickers exploit the victims from Tanzania abroad.

Traveler often deceives family, friends or middlemen. By deceiving promise to provide educational assistance, provide better living conditions, or provide foreign employment opportunities, the victims take away the implementation of exploitation and slavery.

Poverty -stricken children and orphans and disabled children from the countryside are facing the biggest risk of being traded.
