A little thank you...

We would like to send special thanks to Sonia and her friends for all their help and ongoing contributions to Malaika Children's Home. We really appreciate your support!

Happy Birthday Hellen

Hellen recently celebrated her 9th birthday with all her friends at Malaika. She and the children had a lovely day and enjoyed eating her special cake!

Growing up fast!

Our little babies Agnes and Febronia, pictured here with Jutta, Francesca and the nurse are growing up quickly and remain extremely healthy.

Happy Birthday Betty and Sarah!

We recently celebrated the birthdays of Betty and Sarah, Mama Francesca's daughter. All the children enjoyed a lovely party at Mama Francesca’s house where they played games, rode bicycles and some even went for a swim! Thank you to Mama Jutta for making such a delicious cake!

Visits to Malaika

Thank you Betty, Lara and all our friends from Maisha, Italy who came to visit us. We had so much playing games, singing and dancing with Lara. We are also very grateful for the love and support given to us by Betty. Please visit us again soon!

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.
