UPENDO ORPHANAGE AND NURSERY SCHOOL
Available for: Internship | Teacher exchange | Voluntary work
Upendo is an orphanage maintained by Catholic nuns in Moshi.
In the orphanage, there are 28 workers and 46 children. The youngest
children are infants and the oldest are under 7 years old. Most of
the children have been abandoned by their parents. Some of the kids are
handicapped and they need special care since the local workers don’t have
enough time for them.
In the Upendo Orphanage there is also a nursery school for the
kids and a school for the nursery school teachers. Upendo orphanage
doesn’t get any kind of financial support from the public sector which means
that it fully depends on private donations and supporters. The orphanage
maintains a farm on which it keeps pigs, cows and chickens to earn more money
for the orphanage and provide food for the children.
The working day in Upendo starts around 9 o’clock in the morning
and ends when the kids are going to the nap around 1pm. Because the orphanage
is situated very near to TVL house it is possible to go back to work in the
afternoon when the kids has woke up. The daily program in the orphanage
contains playing with the kids, changing their diapers and clothes and feeding
them. In the nursery school the kids are learning numbers, alphabets, colors,
days of the week, months, greetings, reading, writing and other skills needed
in the primary school.
Upendo orphanage offers internship placements for students on
the social field. The interns are allowed to wear their own clothes while
working in Upendo, but shoulders, stomach and knees need to be covered all the
time. Skirts or trousers that come below your knees and t-shirts are allowed

living a better life and beginning to realize their full potential

KIWODEA:
KIWODEA
was founded in 1995 by Nancy Tesha. At the time, Mama Tesha was Assistant
Commissioner in charge of the Tanzania Women and Children under the Office of
the Prime Minister. She saw that the needs of women were not being met so she
decided to start an organization to support women. With the help of Hon.
Reginald Mengi (Managing Director of IPP Media), Gallus Abeid (Former
Kilimanjaro Regional Commissioner), and Anne Makinda (at the time Minister of
Community Development, Gender, and Children, now Member of Parliament), she
started KIWODEA.
The
organization was originally started as the WTF micro-credit loan program and
has expanded over the years to meet the needs of the women of Tanzania and the
impoverished communities of Kilimanjaro, adding a variety income generating
activities, a Montessori nursery school, and most recently a library and a
project to support people with Parkinson’s Disease and disabilities.
The
Parkinson's and Disabilities project began because Mama Tesha's husband, Dr.
Tesha died of Parkinson's. During his career Dr. Tesha had many leadership
roles in the medical community, including Superintendent of KCMC Hospital in
Moshi. In his will, he asked his wife to devote a section of KIWODEA to helping
others in the community suffering from the Parkinson's because there is a
scarcity of care options for those with the disease as it is very rare in
Tanzania
Masai Women Group Karatu:
This project aims at supporting Masai
women so as to liberate them from their traditional belief, which is based on
oppression, exploitation and elimination of women within their society.
In order to
improve this situation and to help the Masai women in Karatu/Ngorongoro, ZARA
Charity plans to build an educational
training centre for them the cost for this is $555,000. It will be built in
the Highlands of Karatu. Not only a class room, but also accommodations for
students and teachers as well as washing and dining houses have to be built. We
hope that the skills learned in the center will help those women to grant their
family a better living by establishing their own business or by getting
employed.
So as to
afford a project like this, some of the Masai women have designed several
dresses that have strong influences of the Masai colors and jewelry. The dresses are being sold at High view Hotel Karatu and
spring land Hotel Moshi, they can also be ordered online. The benefits from the
sale will then help to establish the set-up of the educational training centre.
