This 3-year old boy is cared for by his 6-year old sister in a home that also houses goats! There are many, many thousands of orphans needing food, shelter, clean water, and clothing.
Please read the information in the following document to see how you can help one child for less than 28 cents a day.
Dr. Susan and friends of Tumaini are currently in Kagera visiting orphans and helping where they can. Essential items are being distributed and there is much joy when the help is received by the orphans and poor families. Follow Dr. Susan on Twitter

If you are puzzling over what gift to give someone who either needs nothing or doesn’t want any more “stuff”, please consider giving a donation for one of the items that will be a dream-come-true for an orphan. christmas-gift-ideas
Many of us take for granted the luxury of flipping a switch to see in the dark making it easy to work in the evenings. The orphans and poor families in remote areas of Kagera do not have that luxury. Recently gifts of solar lamps were distributed at the Kitushya Secondary School and the students were most appreciative of these gifts from Canadian donors!2016-distribution-of-canadian-donated-lamps
November 15, 2016: Read the latest about the journey of the 500-pound pallet. pallet-journey-page-4
Thanks to many Crafters and Friends of Tumaini Fund Canada, the 500-pound pallet of humanitarian aid for the orphans is on its way. See pages-1-and-2-of-2016-pallet-journey-to-kagera and page-3-of-pallet-journey
The sweaters, dresses, blankets, toques, Izzy dolls, and boys’ clothing, which have been lovingly created by many Tumaini Crafters on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver, were packed into a pallet on September 26. Read about this special project and see the photos. 2016-pallet-to-kagera
It is exciting to see photos of items made by Tumaini Fund Canada Crafters being distributed in Tanzania, Africa. The Crafters who meet at St. Mary’s in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island recently made and sent another 100 Personal Care Kits for the girls in Kagera, Tanzania.
If you would like to help with this ongoing project, come to the Crafter sessions on the third Wednesday of each month, from 1:30 to 4 pm at 2600 Powder Point Road in Nanoose Bay. St. Mary’s Church has generously given TFC the hall for the workbees.
