Your donation makes a difference

With your donation, you’re helping children in Tanzania get a safe start in life—in a way that’s both sustainable and heartfelt.

Your donation gives children a future

With your donation, you help provide orphaned and abandoned children with a loving home, daily meals, medical care, and a high-quality education—from preschool through vocational training.


99% of your donation goes directly to the children. All members of the Foundation Board serve on a volunteer basis, and travel expenses are covered out of their own pockets.

Donate online

We rely on donations to do this important work. Without them, we are not able to provide the services the children need. Please finacially support the continuation of our work with a contribution via Twint, credit card or PayPal.


Note: Online payments are subject to transaction fees (approx. 2–3%), which slightly reduce the donation amount.

All travel expenses for the members of the Board of Trustees, the ambassadors, and the volunteers are paid for privately.


We  need a total of approximately CHF 320,000 in 2026 to fund all operations and maintenance: CHF 105,000 for the operation of the orphanage, CHF 144,000 to cover school fees for children from low-income families in the surrounding area, CHF 65,000 for vocational school, and CHF 6,000 to support the Itobo School.
