Federica and Azmina

Federica has been with us for 1 year (!) at Malaika and is leaving us to go back to her home in Italy. We cannot thank you enough for your contribution, Federica. What a gift it has been to have you with us.

With Federica's departure, we also have to say goodbye to Azmina; Azmina has started working and we thank her for her constant support at Malaika. We hope to see you soon at Malaika.

Back to School!


After a long break, the children are back to school! They are very happy to be back in their classes and under the guidance of the sisters at Saint Monica's School at Moshono.

So Much Activity this Winter!!

Dear readers!
It has been a long and busy winter (Summer, for you) for us at Malaika Children's Home. We have had so many new additions and changes, and here are just a few of the big ones:

Our glorious and beloved Mama Sue has been with us again; her THIRD visit and we will have her back again next May for a fourth time. On top of her devotion to the children, we are also so grateful for her generous gift of a beautiful cow to Malaika. On top of this, our lovely new cow gave birth to a calf just a few weeks ago. The children now have the milk that they need. Thank you so much Mama Sue!

And speaking of milk! Our little Sara is now 7 months old and holding her milk bottle by herself. Her favorite thing is her milk and she prefers it over any other food. What an amazing gift Sue has given us!

Gabriela and Marie from Spain!



We have had two lovely girls with us; Gabriela and Marie who came together from Spain to help us with the children.
