Every child deserves a safe and loving start in life.
Our Baby Project supports vulnerable babies and young children in Arusha, Tanzania. We care for HIV-exposed infants, orphaned and abandoned babies, and children from families living in extreme poverty who are unable to provide for their basic needs.
At present, we care for around 11 babies and young children, providing them with nutritious meals, clean clothing, a safe place to stay during the day, and the love and attention every child deserves. As the need in our community continues to grow, we expect to support even more children in the future.
Why We Need Your Help
Our current facility has become too small for the number of children in our care. We are looking for a larger home that offers:
-
Safe sleeping areas
-
Space for play and early learning
-
Proper sanitation facilities
-
A secure and nurturing environment for daily childcare
The annual rent for a suitable facility is approximately USD 1,830.
