East African Non Profit Organizations that are making incredible changes in their communities:
Tumaini la Maisha is the only children's cancer support organization in Tanzania. I interned with this great organization in the Fall of 2012.
Mufindi Children's Home has six different homes for children to be adopted in to, each with a mama and often with a father as well. The children in these homes have lost their parents due to the high rates of HIV/AIDs, alcoholism, or other diseases. The Mufindi Children's Home offers hope and security while maintaining the traditional family style in the homes.
Tanzanian Breast Cancer Foundation after meeting the founder of this organization I was overwhelmed with awe and inspiration. Angela, a breast cancer survivor is tirelessly working to improve the conditions for women with breast cancer in Tanzania. She is doing amazing work with several successful fundraisers and countless other programs aimed at advocating for women and providing essential supplies for their full treatment.
International Organizations working for grassroots development in East Africa:
Groundwork Opportunities works with local leaders in Tanzania, Uganda, and Malawi to bring about real change in community. Their goal is to end poverty through the hands of the local people. They partner people in the US with these leaders around the globe to volunteer and fundraise for causes that directly impact people in need of help. I helped raise money for pigs at Peters pig farm after meeting him in San Francisco in 2012.
Anthill Foundation I worked with Larry Rhodes who is the Vice President of the Anthill Foundation to help raise money for a children's hospital in Uganda. The Anthill Foundation partners with Rotary Clubs in the US and Uganda to help provide funds for where the local rotary clubs see the need the most.
Rotary International in East Africa does great collaborative work with Rotary Clubs along with Rotary International Grants. In Dar es Salam Tanzania, Rotary Clubs raised enough funds to build a new pediatric oncology ward in 2013, just one example of the power of Rotary.
