WHAT WE ARE DOING
Our main areas of focus
Helping the most disadvantaged
On several occasions, our intervention has solved survival problems for both individuals and entire families.
Medical aid and prevention
Free medical care is available to all children at the school in the small clinic on the premises.
Welcoming the most unfortunate
Our orphanage houses eight orphans who are constantly looked after and to whom we provide food throughout the year.
Education, our main objective
Our primary school of 8 classes and kindergarten of 2 classes is attended by around 300 pupils. During the school term they receive a daily meal and drinking water.

The visits led to the idea of providing concrete help to the poor villagers of Kibokoni. The first project was to raise funds to build a water well....... much has happened since then.
Here is where our school is located.....
