Songea's Kids

Songea's Kids is a '"grassroots," all-volunteer organization that is dedicated to giving LIFE and HOPE to orphaned and vulnerable children in Tanzania. We work closely with Tanzania nonprofit partner organizations to ensure basic needs are met and students learn technical and vocational skills for their future. With Jirani Mwema, we jointly support up to 65 orphaned children in foster homes in Mshangano Village, Songea. With Hope Village Organization, together we are creating and implementing a multi-faceted complex in Lutukira Village for residential orphan care, vocational training, and much more. Songea's Kids provides seed money and mentoring to assist our partners in establishing income-producing projects that will support their children without outside funds. Generous support from individual donors transforms lives every day. Our volunteer accountants carefully monitor all donations to verify each dollar is used wisely for the children. Here are several ways you can give: GREATEST NEEDS FUND This Fund provides flexibility to use your donation where it is most urgently needed: basic needs of the orphans in our care from birth to late teens; education costs; special needs such as mattresses, beds, mosquito nets, and bicycles to travel to far-away schools; unexpected foster home repair costs. These gifts also make the work of Songea's Kids possible by funding the very small operational costs for our all-volunteer organization. The Songea's Kids Board of Directors determines where Greatest Needs Funds are most needed, always focusing on what is best for the children.
