Our mission is to enhance the lives of Tanzania’s least fortunate children by nourishing their bodies as well as their minds with nutritional, educational and medical initiatives. Our vision is to move from community to community, as we gather support, in the pitifully poor While creating a minimal amount of dependency, we want to help this next generation become healthier, wiser and more self-re
liant. We want them to become better able to care for themselves and their children. But helping in a third world country is complicated. We have also learned from experience that it is difficult to figure just how to help, especially if you don’t want to create dependency. Many of these people are living in the 18th and 19th century, and there is no single or simple thing you can do to move them into the 21stcentury. It is a slow process and is best done through the children who are more flexible intellectually and emotionally. Country, which are centuries old, are too big for us to change. It will be the next generation—the children we are helping—that will have to do that. Hence our programs are concentrated on the children. We do not discriminate with regard to s*x and want all young girls to have the same opportunities as their brothers. It is obvious that they will more to do with shaping future of the country as mothers than any other single factor.
