About Msamaria Children’s Home.

Welcome to Msamaria. In Kiswahili Msamaria means “Good Samaritan”.

INTRODUCTION

The Msamaria Centre for Street Children is Tanzanian registered NGO which provides support and care to street children, orphans, families and communities. Msamaria is located in Northern Tanzania in a city called Moshi which lies at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The centre accommodates 75 children total ranging in ages from 2 to 20 years old. Some of the children attend boarding school whereas others have returned back to their families however they still require support where they are too poor to provide the child with food and education. The majority of the children were rescued from the streets where they lived due to various difficult situations. Under the guidance of Mr. Folkward Mapunda and his volunteers, the children are now living a better life and beginning to realize their full potential.

How was it established?
The spirit of initiating the center came as an impact raising community sensitization with Mr. Mapunda and his fellow Social Workers in collaboration with other community activists and well wishers in Moshi with the same task of transforming the lives of vulnerable/homeless children in the community particularly street children and Orphans. Major Co-founder of Msamaria Children’s Home Mr. Mapunda left his payable job in 2006 to support homeless children. Msamaria is located in Rau – Pension, Rau ward, Moshi town District, Kilimanjaro region of United Republic of Tanzania, with the core aim of supporting homeless children. Due to a combination of poverty, neglect and abuse push children into the streets. Some lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. Too many children in Tanzania are forced to take care of themselves, homeless and alone, when they are as young as five years old. Msamaria Children’s Home gives kids their childhood back. Without Msamaria, homeless children are trapped in poverty and neglect. With the generosity of people around the world, though, they can be rescued, given loving care, and even grow up to attend university! We Msamaria rescue homeless children and gives them loving care, the chance to go to school, and a hopeful future, and our sincere plea is you and me to join the move as an individual or a group!
