Abstract:
This study examined the impact of impact of donor funded project on vulnerable children
specifically examined the significance of donor funding on vulnerable children, examined
whether there is cointegrations between number of vulnerable children and donors funding and
lastly examined causality between number of vulnerable children and donors funding. The study
guided by theory of structuration as developed by Anthony Giddens (1995) emphasizes the
concepts of “structure” and “agency” and how this work to recreate and reshape each other,
knowledge-based theory of the firm is that organizations exist in the way that they do because
of their ability to manage knowledge more efficiently than is possible under other types of

collected from Compassion international, Tanzania database while primary data collected
through questionnaires in purposive and random sampling were employed with 360
respondents. Data were analyzed through granger causality model through STATA analysis
software. The results from shows that the probability value was 0.000 which is less than 0.05
level of significant, therefore reject the null hypothesis and conclude that lagged (3) Number of
vulnerable children granger cause donor fund but also case two hypothesis, the results from
table 4.8 shows that the probability value is 0.000 which is less than 0.05 level of significant,
therefore author reject the null hypothesis and conclude that lagged (3) donor fund does not
granger cause number of vulnerable children, hence to recommend Ministry of community
development, gender, women and special group, have a dedicated budget to help vulnerable
children instead of thinking the education ministry's budget is sufficient to help vulnerable
children, and if possible, the government through the relevant ministries to strengthening special
