Last day at Mbeya

Arrived at Ndaga an orphange which has just happened through the concern and generosity of Pastor Forman and his wife Christine.   They gave up the ministry in order tocare for children.

Accompanied by gifts of food.

Food and firewood is often a problem.

We provided about 2 months worth of basic essentials at our visit

Pastor Foreman and Christine

They look after and feed 207 orphans ranging from babies up to teenagers who are now in training to be farmers.

50 orphans sleep in their home and the others are sleep with other people in the village

Part of our Christmas offering was used to build this dormitory  which they had designated for boys.

when the girls found out there was almost a riot!   They found other benefactors who provided some money which was used to build 2 dormitories for the girls
These girls are in the unfinished girls block.
It will take £3500 to complete all three of the dorms.








Lighting now installed to allow the children to study in the evenings (part of christmas offering.)

This was last years number one priority!

 



They have one toilet for all.

 Many of the children appeared sad!

Their future lies in becoming self sustaining.   This as a large field close to the orphanage which can be rented for £200 per season (3 seasons per year) or bought for £750.

Forman also wants a motor cycle (£1200) to enable them to quickly take sick children to hospital -  it would also provide a business - motor cycle "taxis" are commonplace in Tanzania.

Christine said she would like a freezer (£400) so that she could make a sell lollipops!
