Who do we support?

Two project houses, one community, many perspectives

Our two project houses are located in Mianzini (Arusha), a community shaped by high unemployment, poverty and precarious living conditions. We support women and children in a meaningful and sustainable way - with minimal administrative costs and direct support on the ground.

  • Help for self-helpTraining, wages and micro-loans instead of short-term donations in kind.
  • Rooted locallyAll projects are developed together with our team and partners in Tanzania.
  • Long-term supportFrom daycare through sponsorship to a completed school education.

Our projects

Six projects, one shared goal

Home of Malaika was founded in 2022 in close cooperation with our German partner association Take a Malaika e.V. Today our work spans six projects: Our two project houses are home to the sewing group, the daycare and our offices. Our sponsorship programme accompanies the children from daycare to graduation. Three initiatives we take directly to the people on the ground: our anti-violence project and Ulinzi wa Kike (in which we sew reusable monthly hygiene products with schoolgirls) take place directly at the schools we support. Our restaurant is run externally.

All projects

Use of funds

How your euro is used

All members in Germany work on a voluntary basis. That is why by far the largest share of your donation arrives directly in Mianzini (Arusha). These examples show what it becomes.

  • €35 a month

    School for one child

    This is exactly one sponsorship: school fees, uniform and supplies for one child - accompanied for a whole year.

  • €10 a month

    Meals & care

    Warm meals and care in our daycare group, so the youngest are looked after while their mothers work.

  • €100 once

    Sewing & creative project

    Fabric, thread and materials for the women's group - they turn it into products that create income again in our shop.

  • Administration

    Deliberately small

    Administrative costs only arise from bank fees, postage, association administration and payment fees - no salaries from donations.

You can find the exact amounts per financial year on our transparency page.

€35 a month lets a child attend school
