How can I help?

For the children living on the streets
  • For safety and protection in danger and need.
  • For them to realise their need of stable families, and for people to be willing to take children into their loving care.
  • That God would open the hearts of children that they might receive Jesus as a real living lord and Saviour, and begin transforming and healing them through his powerful Holy Spirit.

For us working with them

  • For wisdom as we try to decide what we should do for each of the children we meet.
  • For the finances we need to support the ministry - especially feeding children and providing for medical care.
  • For more people to help us in this vital work.
  • For perseverance and determination when the work seems impossibly hard.

For Families in Mwanza and across Tanzania:

  • For them to love their children, and for parents to stay faithful to each other.

Things that would be helpful:
  • Money to support the work
  • Equipment - used or new that we can use either:
    • directly in the work (eg clothes) or
    • for income-generating projects (shop etc)
    • books to help families which are under pressure - to help prevent children running away.
  • Skills, training, expertise, advice
    • to help us work more effectively with the children.
    • to help our income-generating projects run better.
    • in fact, speaking of that, read on...

We don't just need money. We need people
  • who love God and want to love their neighbours as themselves - the young neighbours who are living on the streets of Mwanza.
  • who know about some of the issues street children face, who are willing to learn more and help us develop our work intelligently.
  • who would like to work with us and research more about why children end up on the streets and how these issues can be resolved. 
  • to come and lead seminars for parents, helping families which are struggling and falling apart.
  • who don't feel that they have much to offer, but want to come and play and build relationships with the children even just for a few weeks.
  • who care.

Does any of this sound like you?

  • get in touch with us and ask how you can be involved, whether for a week or two or for a year or more!
