Orphanage Halima will:

Rescue and provide emergency shelter for up to 100 children aged 0-17 years, at any one time, who have been orphaned, abandoned or subject to neglect or abuse.
-
Meet both the immediate and long-term physical, mental, emotional and social needs of vulnerable children including healthcare, quality schooling and recreational activities.
-
Support family reunification, where possible, to avoid institutionalising children for the full duration of their childhood.
-
Train new foster parents to provide long-term community-based placements for children without family to care for them.
-
Develop neighbourly support networks that enrich the lives of children and create stable families.
Project Values
• Child First Approach: We will prioritise the needs of children above all else, and involve them, where possible, in all decisions that affect them and their futures.
• Community Based Care: We will restrict institutional care to emergencies and short-term interventions, encouraging long-term support from within the community.
• Culturally Sensitive: We will ensure that our model of child upbringing and fostering reflects the Tanzanian tradition of local people cooperating and working together to provide for the essentials and basics of good living.
• Holistic Community Development: We will seek to transform the lives of vulnerable children by making long-term investments in families and communities to challenge ingrained, structural inequalities in society.
