ORPHANAGE BUILDING PROJECT-HOW CAN YOU HELP!

We have purchased the land and successfully drilled for water and our next project is to begin building the massive brick security wall around the perimeter of the 5.4 acre parcel prior to beginning the construction of any buildings. (click here to read the details)

Sponsor one brick with mortar for 50 cents (USD) or 100 bricks for $50 or 1000 bricks for $500 or 10,000 bricks for $5,000. We will need more than 100,000 bricks to complete this project. Plus we must purchase cement and rebar and pay the workers who are building this security wall, and commission the creation of a custom made metal front gate to finish the job completely.

WE NEED A 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK FOR THE ORPHANAGE!

Our 20 year old 4 wheel drive truck has been just plain “worn out” and has needed thousands of dollars in repairs over the last 12 months and yet continues to break down! With the building project underway, the truck is needed daily to haul supplies and workers back and forth between Moshi town and the new property which is situated about 15 minutes drive outside of town. We are DESPERATELY in need of a replacement 4 wheel drive truck like the one pictured here. Toyotas are the most reliable vehicles available in Africa. So our hope is to purchase a refurbished Toyota double cabin 4-wheel drive pick-up truck.

Will you make a donation today to help us purchase a new or used Truck for the orphanage?

Cost approx $15,000 for a used 4 Wheel Drive Toyota Pick-up Truck!

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 exeeds $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.

Yearly EDUCATION EXPENSES for our Primary and Secondary Students-

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 2012 (start of the school year in Tanzania, we will have 5 students in private Secondary and the rest of our children in government Primary School.
Amount needed: $1,200 EACH SECONDARY STUDENT and $300 for each Primary Student
