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.

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.
