Every child deserves a family . . .

Update Oct 15, 2022 With just 11 weeks left in the year, YOU have helped us raise over 80% of our budget for this year's Critical Needs & Operations fund. That is wonderful progress! This fund has covered overages in both our sponsorship program and Maisha Matters program as sometimes sponsors are late on support payments or expenses in a month exceed our income for that program. We are hopeful that year-end giving will help to bring in the remaining $18,200 needed for this year's budget. Can you help? Thank you for your donation!

Kulea Villages is a faith-based ministry supporting orphans in Kenya and Tanzania. Funds from this campaign help us cover urgent, unexpected needs for the children or their caregivers as well as operational costs.

As we are out in the villages with our social workers checking on families, we often stumble upon a crisis that is just heart-breaking. Example: finding someone so weak from hunger that they first need medical help and additionally need food. Another example is finding a mother and her children sleeping on the ground - in need of a mattress and sheets. We are thankful that we can address each situation immediately without first having to go raise the funds to do so.

In 2021 this fund supported the opening of our new Kulea Villages Maisha Matters Center in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania! A portion of this fund will continue to support the operational costs of this center. There we will support babies whose mothers die during childbirth. We help the babies stay with an extended family member rather than going to an orphanage. 

This fund also supports basic operational expenses in the US, Kenya and Tanzania (salaries, insurance, office supplies, and fundraising). Operational Support funding is often the hardest for a non-profit organization to raise. 

Thank you so much for your one-time gift or for setting up a recurring donation!
