2 New Water Tanks at Malaika




Thanks to Mama Sue and the people of Australia, the rain water tanks have been purchased and placed in position. In the Western world we take water for granted without thinking about it as a precious resource and how lucky we are to have a reliable and clean supply. Many areas in Africa struggle to maintain healthy and stable sources of water .Water in rural areas in Tanzania is often carried by the women on their head for great distances. At Malaika, with so many children and now three babies, our everyday usage of water has increased. Much water is used every day in washing, cleaning, toilets, cooking and for drinking. Thanks to your generous support and donation, these rain water collection tanks totalling 30,000 litres, have taken us another step towards being self-sustainable. As Malaika is in a rural area, the cost of water is expensive.

Malaika welcomes 3 new babies!

In July we were happy to receive 3 new babies at Malaika. Joshua (left) born 2nd June , Agnes(middle) born 3rd May and Febronia (right) born 28th April. They are very healthy, much adored by their older sisters and brothers and gaining weight rapidly. We have employed a nurse who is looking after them. They are very good babies.
