TANZANIA
For the past several years, Reaching Hearts for Kids has provided care and education to children in Tanzania who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

In Arusha, Reaching Hearts for Kids partnered with Global Vessels to build a home for orphans in memory of Valerie Silver Ellis, who died in the attacks of 9/11.  Her family was present at the dedication of the home which took place in June 2009. 

Starting in 2006, we have also been supporting the orphanage run by Dr. Sylvester Kabati and his wife. He works in a Maasai village in Namanga, Tanzania where HIV rates are very high, and many children have been left orphaned. Some of these children are HIV positive as well. Dr. Kabati is providing care for 35 children in his own home, and supporting others in the surrounding community. We would like to help him complete the construction of the school on the land given by the government. We also plan to build a high school and clinic that will benefit the entire community, as funds become available. Please support this project to give Maasai children hope and a future.
