Over the past years, our focus has been on one simple but immensely impactful approach. We provide health insurance to young children living in orphanages around our communities. Childhood, and especially infancy, is a crucial period in which the best possible healthcare should be available. But many infants or children in poor areas do not have any coverage for even simply treatment. We make sure that they get the treatment that they need by financing health insurance for the most deprived children in our community.
Financing one year of health insurance costs 50,400 Tanzanian Shillings, which is less than 22 USD. So far, through our Network, we have managed to raise funds for hundreds of children. For the details, see our Impact Reports for 2019-2020.
Recently, we have begun to also provide school uniforms for children living in orphanages. These are produced by local tailors in order to keep all the funds in the local community.
