Orphanage Needs

COMPUTERS FOR THE KIDS

The Dell computers in our computer lab and the orphanage office have quite literally EXCEEDED the average life expectancy of desktop computers – having served us beautifully for over six years! But one by one they have started to have problems and we know we will need to replace them very soon. SO… we are starting a “NEW COMPUTERS FOR TOA FUND.” If you would like to make a donation toward this upcoming need – we would be so grateful. We will need to buy the computers in Tanzania so they have the right plugs but we will buy them from an authorized dealer so we know they are the authentic computers manufactured by the company. We are also thinking ahead to our new facility when we will need more computers for the computer lab than we currently own. So if God moves on your heart to be a part of supplying this need – we will be so grateful!


 

ORPHANAGE BUILDING PROJECT

HOW CAN YOU HELP!

We have purchased the land for the Treasures of Africa Children’s Village and successfully drilled for water. We just completed building a massive brick security wall around the perimeter of the 5.4 acre parcel. This has been a necessary step prior to beginning the construction of any buildings, due to the fact that there are no immediate neighbors where our property is located and theft is a problem in Tanzania.

With the help of the American NGO BuildingAfrica (www.buildingafrica.org) architectural plans have been developed for the Children’s Village which will be able to house 120 children with cottages for the different age groups and vocational training centers on site. This will be a solar and wind powered project that will be a showcase for sustainability for years to come. To see the site plan – CLICK HERE.

We have located the best possible contractor to build this project in Tanzania and we are ready to move forward. But in order to build – we must have all the cash up front. There are no mortgage loans in Tanzania - we have to be able to pay as we build – with all the money in the bank to build the completed project before we begin. The estimated cost for building this project is $2million. Consider giving a gift that will change the lives of orphans in the Kilimanjaro Tanzania FOREVER!

Yearly EDUCATION EXPENSES for our Primary and Secondary Students-

TOA Kids

In Tanzania, the government Primary School is supposed to be free, but as any Tanzanian parent knows, required school uniforms, supplies, books and the MANDATORY tutoring fees required by the local schools are not FREE!! Secondary School is not free AT ALL. Only those who can afford to pay the yearly tuition, fees, books, uniforms and supplies will have the privilege of attending secondary school – which is equivalent to US Junior and Senior High School. In January 2013 (start of the school year in Tanzania) we will have 9 students in private Secondary School.

Currently only a handful of our Primary School students have been sponsored to attend the Private School – which is taught in English rather than Swahili like the government schools. The rest of our children attend the local government Primary School.

Because our desire is to prepare ALL of our children for higher education in either in a University or a Vocational College – we need to have them attend a private school where they will be taught in English as all the institutions of higher learning require English fluency. We also have one Special-needs child – Jeremiah – who needs to attend a Private School next year.

We desperately need ACADEMIC SPONSORS – who will pay for the school fees, books, supplies and school uniforms of a particular child.

To sponsor a Secondary School Student – the cost is $1400 per year.

To Sponsor a Primary School Student – the cost is $1100 per year.

School fees for the new school year must be paid in December since the Tanzanian school year begins in January.

Please consider becoming an ACADEMIC SPONSOR for a child at TREASURES OF AFRICA!

 


Helena and several other of our children are in need of dental/orthodontic work-

We would have to have the work done at a dental clinic an hour and a half drive from Moshi. If you would like to help us provide this important care for our children please send a gift at any amount.

 

Economical small car- The cost of fuel in Tanzania exceeds $5 per gallon. We need to purchase an economical vehicle that can be used by our nurse for the many hospital/clinic visits we make monthly for our HIV children. Using the van burns a lot of gas and is not necessary for just taking two children to the doctor. A used Toyota compact car can be purchased for $7,500.
