Give Hope to Street Children and Widow in Tanzania

We have a Orphanage Center, Day Care, Special Education Inclusive School located in the heart of Ihumwa village, supporting 30 children daily and 100+ children on the weekend. We also power the widows in our local community to produce marketable art and crafts, ensuring their financial support and future self-employment.

At the moment we are building a pre and primary school to all vulnerable children in the community, and would absolutely love your help.

"This was my first experience and i could not have asked for a better host than Tumaini Foundation. If you decide to stay here, liking kids is essential. A majority of my time was taking care and playing with the children. They have a small vegetable garden in the process of being created into something sustainable. The best part about my stay was the people, i instantly connected with the founder and her 3 daughters. After about a week, i had close bonds with a number of children. I enjoyed my time so much and fell in love with all the children. Hope to return in the future. Thank you Tumaini Foundation"
