Mission
Our mission is to improve the health and future of orphaned babies in Tanzania and avoid their institutionalization by creating a family of donors who will enable us to protect orphaned children’s rights, empower their caretakers and give interim housing and love to babies who are abandoned.
Goal
- Support existing community coping methods by enabling babies orphaned to AIDS and other causes to stay with willing and able family members.
- Open the Baobab Home orphanage to provide temporary or long term care for up to 8 infants and toddlers, regardless of HIV status.
- Ensure every child in our care, regardless of HIV status, is provided a healthy, stimulating environment with proper food, clothing, medical care and love, and all children with terminal illnesses have a dignified, comforting death.
- Reunify children with willing and able family member or find foster or adoptive families when reunification is not possible.
- Sponsor the education(school fees, uniforms) of as many Orphans and other Vulnerable Children (OVC) as we can and sponsor activities to encourage reading and responsibility.
- Increase awareness among donors and other interested people of the impact of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
- Make appropriate referrals when we are unable to help directly.
- Recruit international volunteers to help us raise money and conduct our outreach activities in order to make Bagamoyo a better place.
- Seek ever more appropriate methods to serve the Tanzanian Coast Region and its children.
- Conduct ongoing program evaluation and follow up with children
