More Dodoma Children need sponsors


Our partners in Dodoma have made 29 more children available to sponsor! These are kids living in Tanzania's capital city who are primarily vulnerable due to AIDS and poverty. Many are orphaned or living with guardians.

Sponsoring these children gives them hope in life. Their poor backgrounds often mean that they have little access to health care, nutrition, school fees, and community support. Many times they will drop out of school and begin caring for parents who are sick or begin working to help support the family. By choosing to support the kids, you enable the church in Dodoma to give them a second chance in life by providing the following:
  • School uniforms, shoes, and school fees - so that the children can continue with their education and future. The kids also receive tutoring support at the local church in the afternoons.
  • Food - many family units will receive food support to help with HIV care and the nutrition of the children. The kids also have a meal on Friday served to them.
  • Family visits - your support will enable the staff at the Dodoma church to make home visits caring for families and ensuring the child is relieving proper care.
  • Medical care - visits to the hospital and access to medicine when needed.
  • Community - The kids get together for games and songs each week at the church.
  • Spiritual Development - the kids get a chance to receive teaching, prayer, and mentoring from the church staff.
If you would like to sponsor one of these kids, please click on over to our Dodoma sponsorship page and choose a child.

We'll send out a packet to you with the information on your child, a photo, and then you'll be able to correspond with the child throughout the year.
