We are very proud to announce first of all that two girls at Malaika have just finished their Form Four in November, celebrating their 'graduation' day. It is a great satisfaction to be able to offer them a good education, with your precious help!
Then we are happy because at Malaika everybody is fine, even in this pandemic: none of the children and staff got sick. The virus seems to have caused fewer deaths here than in other parts of the world, possibly due to the young age of a large part of the African population.
The bad news is the COVID-19 has a strong impact on the economy in Tanzania, and the effects are devastating on the everyday life of poor people.
We witness this every time we visit those children who spent some time at Malaika and now have been reunified with their families of origin or relatives: poverty and lack of necessary goods risk families' survival. We often find children at their homes without enough food or clothing.
We usually pay school fees and health expenses for children reunified with their relatives, but we realize that this is not enough for the family's survival. Even a little financial stimulus can permit a family to find a way to overcome this period.
Please help other boys and girls to reach the great goal of a 'graduation', and help also their families in need, in this horrible moment for the whole world and also for Tanzania!
Thank you for your help in offering to the kids of Malaika a good education and the chance of a better life: their smiles at the 'graduation' are a great satisfaction for us and we suppose also for you.
