THE DRY SEASON STARTS NOW AND THE WELLS IN THE VILLAGE WILL SOON DRY UP AGAIN

With the construction of the baby house in Mkenge, we have gained further experience of poverty and lack of essential supplies for the people. In Mkenge, the water shortage is severe. There are only a few water points located in the valley and the few wells that are available dry up during the dry season.

The school was built in 1972 and is attended by over 900 pupils. The school's water well dried up a very long time ago and the children have to bring water from home. They also have to go down to the valley to fetch water more often during lessons. In addition, there is no water in the school toilets and the children often fall ill with urinary tract infections.

After school, many children have to walk long distances every day to fetch water for the family. This leaves little time to learn or play. Long journeys are not only exhausting for children, but also dangerous; they can injure themselves on the way to water or they can be attacked and raped.

4,700.00 are needed for the water borehole, pump and water pipes, and because the children in many classes sit on the floor, the school urgently needs another 170 school desks. We would be happy if we could sponsor half of the needed school desks. A school bench costs 27.00 Euros. The roofs also urgently need to be renewed, but the water supply for the children and teachers is a priority.

Our staff member was on her way to Mwanza when suddenly the bus broke down and just a few minutes later it was smoking. Quickly everyone was able to escape from the bus in time before it caught fire.
This morning, a bus in our village went off the road and fell into a lake. Ten people were killed immediately, including children. Many were injured.
In Tanzania, the risk of being injured or killed in a road accident is much higher than being a victim of an attack or a tropical disease.

In Berlin, the children of the 5th grade of the Annie Heuser School have taken the initiative to sponsor a school fee.

At the parents' evening, the parents spoke out in favour and gave their OK to advance the sum for the class. However, the children in the class wanted to raise the money themselves.

For example, one mother wrote to us about how happy and motivated her child was in fundraising:
"My daughter, for example, together with her friends, has approached passers-by several times in busy places and sold homemade muffins and sweets to collect money for her association. The children are very successful with this. It is touching and a great joy to see how happy they come home with the donations and how they can count more and more money."

Dear friends and supporters, 

In view of the terrible situation in Ukraine, we are very grateful to all supporters who have donated during this time of crisis and thus make a lot of good possible in our projects.

The increase in the price of food is leading more and more to famine. When we were buying food at the market, some beans fell on the street. Hopeless women quickly picked them up. The vendors shooed them away with insults. The number of street children is constantly increasing. More and more girls are to be seen among them. Crime and prostitution are on the rise.

When prices rose rapidly in April and May 2022, up to six desperate mothers came by every day asking for food. We decided to distribute food parcels to women with children and elderly people in our village Mwandege. Thanks to Stelp e.V. we were able to distribute food parcels to a total of 88 needy families and elderly people in April and June 2022. The people were very touched and infinitely grateful.

Since the war in Ukraine, our income from donations has dropped significantly and food prices continue to rise.
The euro has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar in 20 years and continues to lose value. Thus, with the same income, we have much less available than two months ago.

We urgently ask you for financial support.

Dear friends and supporters, 

We would like to thank you for your support, which has given us so much hope. We are deeply touched that with your help we were able to provide a total of 137 families with food parcels. 
The gratitude of the people is boundless. They say they will never forget.

In these difficult times, we have decided to provide three needy single mothers, each with three, five and nine children, with food parcels every month for a period of one year, thus protecting the children from delinquency and hunger. During this time, we will plan with the mothers how they can provide for themselves and their children in the future. 

We thank you for your trust and your help.

Sincerely,
Your Orphans Tanzania e.V. Team

Dear supporters, 

With your donations, we have been able to provide 100 families with food and hygiene items within a short period of time. We would like to thank you once again for the hope that you have given to many people through your donations. 

We are especially grateful for the positive feedback from many Muslim families that we make no distinction in religion and help all people in need. 
We are very happy that through our relief campaign, together with you and with the help of your support, we were able to provide people with food.

We look forward to your continued support. Your donation will reach us under the reference "Corona Crisis".

Dear supporters, 

Thank you for your help and support, which gives so much hope. 

We were able to supply another 25 families on Thursday (27.04.2020). In total, we have been able to provide 60 families with food parcels so far.

The people speak of a miracle and the joy is boundless, they cannot believe that people from Germany who had never seen or spoken to them before are giving them food for a month. They say they will never forget it and may God bless them all abundantly! 

Last week we also received a visit from a high government official of the district to officially thank us for the help that is being given to the people. He stressed that this form of giving is very special because never before has anyone there provided food parcels to the poorest. It is a blessing that the people experience with it. He would like to thank everyone who makes this support possible through their donation and thus alleviates the suffering of those in need. "May God bless Germany" were his concluding words. 

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the housemother Stella, our great Maria and Upendo for their tireless efforts on site.

Unfortunately, there are more and more families who urgently need food the longer the situation continues.

We continue to appreciate financial support.

Thank you message from a mother.

Thank you so much for your help. It is miraculous for me. 
I am a Mother of 9 children. My husband died last year and since there our life is very hard. I love my children so much. My children and I we are eating twice a day. We are drinking porridge at ten o'clock and then at four o'clock. 
I am so happy that now we have good food for the next few weeks. God blessed you with a wonderful heart. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Dear supporters, 

After receiving donations for 40 families until today, we were able to provide the first 35 families on Friday and Sunday. We are overwhelmed by your willingness to help and would like to thank you for your support! You cannot imagine how happy the people are and what courage you give them with your support in this difficult time. Nevertheless, more and more families are approaching us in urgent need of food.

On Sunday alone (19.04.2020) there were about 100 needy people with us. A big factory, which gives many people a job, has fired its workers, so not only the day labourers, who are currently not allowed to work, are in need of help, but also those who normally have a regular job. In Tanzania, wages are so low that people can neither save nor build up reserves for a rainy day. Women and men who sell pasta by the roadside are also no longer allowed to pursue their business. 

So the situation on the ground is dramatic, the already extreme poverty grows daily and some are threatened with starvation. 

When Stella, our house mother, handed out the food and hygiene items to a woman who has several children, her son was trembling because he could not believe that they now had food and tea. Afraid that it might be taken away from them again, he asked his mother to leave as quickly as possible and take what they had received to safety. 

People are immensely grateful for the blessings they receive. For example, a mother with an infant on her back stopped every few metres while walking to say thank you. Many cannot believe the good fortune that they are receiving help. 

Yesterday, a mother and her 5-year-old daughter from Vikindu came to us on foot to ask for help. They had walked barefoot for six hours. When they arrived at our house, all the food had already been distributed. Stella gave them a little cash so that they could at least take the bus back and buy some vegetables. 

We appreciate any donation, no matter how small, to offer support to the people in this crisis. Your help can reach us under the reference "Corona Crisis".

Dear friends, supporters and interested people,

An emaciated 9-year-old boy came to the garden on Saturday 11 April and asked if he could have a papaya from our tree, he was so hungry. We gave him food and in the process he told us that his mum leaves in the morning and only returns around evening, usually without anything edible. Since then, he comes every day and asks if we have a little something to eat for him.

Unlike a week ago, Corona infections are rapidly increasing in Tanzania. The first case became known on 16 March and the government reacted immediately. Just one day later, all educational institutions from kindergartens to universities were closed. In addition, strict restrictions on mass events and public life have been in place since then. Few people, however, can stay at home, because their livelihood depends on their daily income. About 85 per cent of the working population in Tanzania earn their living as day labourers and micro traders without any reserves or social security. The fear of starvation spreads like an invisible fog.

Last week, an 8-year-old boy was beaten to death in the neighbouring village of Kongowe for stealing three bananas from an old man's stall. He ate one banana and held the other two very tightly in his arms. He hid under the table and while the old man found him, he insistently demanded him to give back the remaining bananas. When the boy refused, the man hit the boy with an object and hit him on the head. The boy died instantly.

Together, we would like to provide needy families, especially children of day labourers in our neighbourhood, with food parcels for one month during the hard time of the Corona pandemic and save them from crime or starvation.

The food package includes: 20 kg of rice, 25 kg of ugali, 20 kg of beans, 4 kg of sugar, tea, salt, 6 pieces of stiff, detergent, 1 bottle of oil and vegetables.
This package costs the equivalent of 55 euros and can feed a family of 3 for 30 days.
For 20 families we would need just 1,100 Euros.

As the situation is getting worse for the people here with every day that passes, we are very grateful for any support, no matter how small. Your help will reach us under the reference "Corona Crisis".

The people were very touched and infinitely grateful.

Since the war in Ukraine, our income from donations has dropped significantly and food prices continue to rise.
The euro has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar in 20 years and continues to lose value. Thus, with the same income, we have much less available than two months ago.

We urgently ask you for financial support.

Dear friends and supporters, 

We would like to thank you for your support, which has given us so much hope. We are deeply touched that with your help we were able to provide a total of 137 families with food parcels. 
The gratitude of the people is boundless. They say they will never forget.

In these difficult times, we have decided to provide three needy single mothers, each with three, five and nine children, with food parcels every month for a period of one year, thus protecting the children from delinquency and hunger. During this time, we will plan with the mothers how they can provide for themselves and their children in the future. 

We thank you for your trust and your help.

Sincerely,
Your Orphans Tanzania e.V. Team

Dear supporters, 

With your donations, we have been able to provide 100 families with food and hygiene items within a short period of time. We would like to thank you once again for the hope that you have given to many people through your donations. 

We are especially grateful for the positive feedback from many Muslim families that we make no distinction in religion and help all people in need. 
We are very happy that through our relief campaign, together with you and with the help of your support, we were able to provide people with food.

We look forward to your continued support. Your donation will reach us under the reference "Corona Crisis".

Dear supporters, 

Thank you for your help and support, which gives so much hope. 

We were able to supply another 25 families on Thursday (27.04.2020). In total, we have been able to provide 60 families with food parcels so far.

The people speak of a miracle and the joy is boundless, they cannot believe that people from Germany who had never seen or spoken to them before are giving them food for a month. They say they will never forget it and may God bless them all abundantly! 

Last week we also received a visit from a high government official of the district to officially thank us for the help that is being given to the people. He stressed that this form of giving is very special because never before has anyone there provided food parcels to the poorest. It is a blessing that the people experience with it. He would like to thank everyone who makes this support possible through their donation and thus alleviates the suffering of those in need. "May God bless Germany" were his concluding words. 

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the housemother Stella, our great Maria and Upendo for their tireless efforts on site.

Unfortunately, there are more and more families who urgently need food the longer the situation continues.

We continue to appreciate financial support.

Thank you message from a mother.

Thank you so much for your help. It is miraculous for me. 
I am a Mother of 9 children. My husband died last year and since there our life is very hard. I love my children so much. My children and I we are eating twice a day. We are drinking porridge at ten o'clock and then at four o'clock. 
I am so happy that now we have good food for the next few weeks. God blessed you with a wonderful heart. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Dear supporters, 

After receiving donations for 40 families until today, we were able to provide the first 35 families on Friday and Sunday. We are overwhelmed by your willingness to help and would like to thank you for your support! You cannot imagine how happy the people are and what courage you give them with your support in this difficult time. Nevertheless, more and more families are approaching us in urgent need of food.

On Sunday alone (19.04.2020) there were about 100 needy people with us. A big factory, which gives many people a job, has fired its workers, so not only the day labourers, who are currently not allowed to work, are in need of help, but also those who normally have a regular job. In Tanzania, wages are so low that people can neither save nor build up reserves for a rainy day. Women and men who sell pasta by the roadside are also no longer allowed to pursue their business. 

So the situation on the ground is dramatic, the already extreme poverty grows daily and some are threatened with starvation. 

When Stella, our house mother, handed out the food and hygiene items to a woman who has several children, her son was trembling because he could not believe that they now had food and tea. Afraid that it might be taken away from them again, he asked his mother to leave as quickly as possible and take what they had received to safety. 

People are immensely grateful for the blessings they receive. For example, a mother with an infant on her back stopped every few metres while walking to say thank you. Many cannot believe the good fortune that they are receiving help. 

Yesterday, a mother and her 5-year-old daughter from Vikindu came to us on foot to ask for help. They had walked barefoot for six hours. When they arrived at our house, all the food had already been distributed. Stella gave them a little cash so that they could at least take the bus back and buy some vegetables. 

We appreciate any donation, no matter how small, to offer support to the people in this crisis. Your help can reach us under the reference "Corona Crisis".

Dear friends, supporters and interested people,

An emaciated 9-year-old boy came to the garden on Saturday 11 April and asked if he could have a papaya from our tree, he was so hungry. We gave him food and in the process he told us that his mum leaves in the morning and only returns around evening, usually without anything edible. Since then, he comes every day and asks if we have a little something to eat for him.

Unlike a week ago, Corona infections are rapidly increasing in Tanzania. The first case became known on 16 March and the government reacted immediately. Just one day later, all educational institutions from kindergartens to universities were closed. In addition, strict restrictions on mass events and public life have been in place since then. Few people, however, can stay at home, because their livelihood depends on their daily income. About 85 per cent of the working population in Tanzania earn their living as day labourers and micro traders without any reserves or social security. The fear of starvation spreads like an invisible fog.

Last week, an 8-year-old boy was beaten to death in the neighbouring village of Kongowe for stealing three bananas from an old man's stall. He ate one banana and held the other two very tightly in his arms. He hid under the table and while the old man found him, he insistently demanded him to give back the remaining bananas. When the boy refused, the man hit the boy with an object and hit him on the head. The boy died instantly.

Together, we would like to provide needy families, especially children of day labourers in our neighbourhood, with food parcels for one month during the hard time of the Corona pandemic and save them from crime or starvation.

The food package includes: 20 kg of rice, 25 kg of ugali, 20 kg of beans, 4 kg of sugar, tea, salt, 6 pieces of stiff, detergent, 1 bottle of oil and vegetables.
This package costs the equivalent of 55 euros and can feed a family of 3 for 30 days.
For 20 families we would need just 1,100 Euros.

As the situation is getting worse for the people here with every day that passes, we are very grateful for any support, no matter how small. Your help will reach us under the reference "Corona Crisis".
