Orphanage Project

Project Summary

A country affected by extreme poverty, HIV/AIDS and lack of opportunities, orphan kids of Tanzania need immediate help and support. Your participation in an orphanage project is not only appreciated by kids but also by orphanage administration. A good portion of participation fee directly goes to the orphanages which help them to run program smoothly. Orphanage work is a great project to share your love, passion, and help as it goes to people who need it the most. The Samaritan village in Arusha has been doing a great work in Tanzania for many years one. More projects organized by IFRE orphanage are located in Dar Es Salaam and Arusha.
