This study aimed at examining the contribution of faith based institutions to provision of social services in Kigoma/Ujiji Municipality. The study sought to provide an understanding on role of faith based institutions and the perception of Kigoma/Ujiji community on the services received from these institutions. The study employed various data collection methods. These methods comprises of survey whereby questionnaire as a tool were employed and interview. Random sampling technique applied in selecting the sample population. The sample of fifty respondents comprised the representatives/religion leaders and service beneficiaries such as parents, students, and patients were taken. The findings have been presented using tables, pie chart and graphs. In addition documentary review evidence was used to collect secondary data.
Findings revealed that FBIs provide social services like health and education services. Likewise FBIs help in construction of schools and health centers as well as in providing learning and teaching materials at primary and secondary schools. In health services, FBIs contribute through constructing of health centers and sponsoring patients who need extra care. Also FBIs offer medical facilities in health centers.
Finally it is recommended that FBIs should find other sources of fund including establishment of commercial banks rather than depending on loans and fund raising which has no assurance and does not come within time. Moreover the findings suggested that government should apply public private partnerships in order to deliver more services to majority within the community. These will consequently improve the social wellbeing and development at large due to high level of education and improved health in the community. |
