Did you know that at Majengo we usually serve 3 meals a day (and a snack!) but during Ramadhan we serve an extra meal called suhur before the sun rises for the children who observe this holiday.
.
To support the food security at Majengo, you can donate online at www.majengo.org. Every donation helps ensure the children get exactly what they need to grow and thrive!

Since there is no school today, the #MajengoKids are finding different ways to entertain themselves. This game is a bit like hopscotch, but you need to move a rock along as you jump. Rose is a pro! 🏃🏃‍♀️

Did you know that more than 785 million people worldwide lack access to drinking water?
.
On #WorldWaterDay we want to recognize the generosity of our donors over the years which has allowed us to install access points to clean and safe drinking water at the Majengo facility. Additionally we have a grey line that is used for washing our clothes and dishes (and heads!) We have also been able to install a rainwater harvesting system which allows us to keep rain water and use it in our gardens – thus preserving drinking water.
.
Access to water is recognized as a human right. Thank you for allowing all the Majengo staff and children access.

Happy International Women’s Day to all of the strong women out there.
.
While Tanzanian women experience much higher incidences of poverty and often lack access to healthcare and education – Majengo emphasizes gender equality in every aspect of programming, and ensures all of the Majengo girls and young women are given the same opportunity as their male counterparts.
.
Additionally, we emphasize girls’ education through our Masai Girls Educatiom Program, which provides some of the most vulnerable girls in the surrounding community with access to education and mentorship they would not otherwise have.
.
You can help promote girls and young women at Majengo by donating to our education funds in honour of a strong woman you know! www.majengo.org

Today is #ZeroDiscriminationDay which is a day to help us ensure that people speak up, and prevent discrimination from standing in the way of achieving goals, and ambitions. This day was born in an effort to combat stigma and discrimination against people that live with HIV/AIDS.
.
At Majengo this year, we aim to put on training sessions and workshops to educate the surrounding community about HIV/AIDS. Education will help end stigma, and we hope prevent discrimination.
.
If you want to help support our community programming which aims to empower through education, donate online at www.majengo.org.
