What we do

It takes a village to build a child and it takes a home to help that child grow.

Majengo Children’s Home provides food, clothing, education, and love to vulnerable children in Tanzania who have nowhere else to turn. As of December 2022, there are 253 children enrolled in Majengo’s programming.

CHEK+ [Coronavirus Handwashing Emergency Kit]

Each CHEK will include soap, a bucket for water with a tap critical in areas without running water, and an information booklet about social distancing, handwashing, and coronavirus.

CHEK+ [Food Pack]

A Food Pack will subsidize a family’s food for one month. It will include basics like:

Cooking oil
Beans
Ugali (a local polenta)
Makande (a local corn and bean mixture)

Shelter

Maintaining a centre with accessible roads, beds to sleep in, and security helps make Majengo a safe and secure home.

Hygiene & Sanitation

Hygiene and sanitation are critical to keeping all of the children healthy, including those with chronic health conditions. Proper sinks, clean drinking water, bathrooms, and hygiene programs prevent the spread of germs and diseases.

Heath & Wellbeing

Maintaining the physical and emotional health of each child is integral to their growth and development. This includes providing regular medical care, treatment for children with chronic illnesses, health training programs, and faith programs to allow each child to practice the religion of their choice.

Education

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

We provide uniforms, school fees, books, and any materials that make going to school possible.

Community Development

These programs include: a pre-school, a Live-Out program, Special Education Program and a Maasai Girls Education Program. It also includes community training programs, capacity building, and support.

Food Security

Keeping food on the table helps our children grow and thrive. In addition to providing healthy balanced meals, we also have a farm and garden to ensure continuous food security and to teach farming skills. This program also extends to community programs to provide food packs to families facing food insecurity.
