Eljireh Children's Homes

Eljireh Children's Homes My name is Debbie Crouch from Gold Coast, Australia. I am fulfilling my God-given vision of giving orphans in Tanzania a home, love, and all needs met

Throughout Tanzania and many countries in the vast continent of Africa, thousands of children and adults are dying daily from starvation and disease. Innumerable children’s parents, grandparents and family members have passed away from similar circumstances leaving their precious children homeless, without food, without family and without hope. WE can make a difference for Tanzania’s beloved child

ren by restoring their life and hope with shelter, food, clothing, health services and education with our core driving focus being God’s unconditional love. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Debbie Crouch. I was born and raised in Australia, living in Gold Coast Queensland. In 2012 I came to Tanzania for an annual holiday and met families existing in such poverty - a mud room, with old mattresses only, no water, no power, no jobs, no food, no education, no hope and my heart ached. Then I visited an orphanage with 40 children, 3 bedrooms with them sleeping on a 30cm foam broken mattress, eating corn flour and water porridge, as only meal, not knowing love or a family and when I prayed that night, I felt God saying come and help orphans. It took me some visits here to organize myself, coming alone with only a few 'new' Tanzanian friends. I came on my own, with blessings from family and friends (although most thought I was "crazy"). I married a Christian Masai but later found he cheated me with being married with 4 children so that ended abruptly. This experience taught me much about the dishonesty and cheating that is a normal part of life here. I formed an NGO (Non Government Organization) for the orphanage and bought some land to build but now find it is in a very hot area with extreme heat most of the year. The land is for sale and I will buy in the area I now live which is similar to Gold Coast. I now have made a few new friends and met up with a Qld. friend who is a missionary, now in Uganda, who supported me in prayer and advise. There are so many trials and tribulations, thefts, liars, cheats, dishonesty as part of daily life in most but not their fault as most are totally uneducated, born with poverty mentality and no hope of ever changing. I was brought down to losing much but my Lord, my family and loyal friends sustain me. Now my life is filled with joy as I care, love and nurture 9 little orphan children. Your generosity and support will go 100% to the providing of these children for there are no administration or advertising costs. We are founded on the unconditional love of God, to sow love and hope into a darkening world and to share with those without. LOVE CONQUERS ALL

Our Story

Throughout Tanzania and many countries in the vast continent of Africa, thousands of children and adults are dying daily from starvation and disease. Innumerable children’s parents, grandparents and family members have passed away from similar circumstances leaving their precious children homeless, without food, without family and without hope. WE can make a difference for Tanzania’s beloved children by restoring their life and hope with shelter, food, clothing, health services and education with our core driving focus being God’s unconditional love. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Debbie Crouch. I was born and raised in Australia. I have commenced building an orphanage in Tanzania to rescue children from the ravages of poverty.

I now have 7 beautiful orphans coming from destitute situations. They are amazing friends, sharing, caring, loving me and each other. We are so blessed and feel as a real Family. We are financially stretched with 9 months to feed including myself and my young, house girl who helps me with all our hand washing, cooking and house duties. Please assist if you feel to support us.

These are the children, their name & ages are (from left to right) - Elijah 4yrs, Steven 11yrs, Anold 7yrs, Mary 6yrs, Meshack 7yrs , Teddy 4yrs and Haika 8yrs.

Your generosity and support will go 100% to the project for there are no administration or advertising costs. We are Christians that are founded on the unconditional love of God, to sow love and hope into a darkening world, to share with those without. LOVE CONQUERS ALL
