The vision for the girls home is to raise up a Center for “Accepted” girls that
others have abused physically and have walked away from or have been forced to provide
for their families and for themselves on the streets through means of forced prostitution.
The Girls home will be Center that focuses on providing a family atmosphere, it
is our hearts to aim to give these young girls a place to call home, not just an
institute to keep them alive, but a home to help them and teach them life skills
and how valued the one that created them our Father in Heaven. Our aim is to give
them a home to mentor them and teach them of God’s great love for them. We will
aim to provide a safe and loving environment for disadvantaged young girls and to
provide basic needs, education and as stated above, teach them basic life skills
through the love of Christ we aim to give them hope and a future and teach them
that God has a plan for their life and that they are precious to him.
Vision of These targeted young girls
- To provide them with an education and job skills, so that they can be provided with
an opportunity for future employment as they grow older.
- To teach them basic life skills so that they will be given a chance to reintegrate
back into a normal society.
- To teach them through demonstration the love of God so that they will grow confident
and secure in who they are and know that they have a purpose in this world.
Description of the target group
Street girls: A street child is a child who may live full-time on
the street or part-time. These young girls may have living relatives but for whatever
reason are forced on the streets to beg for food and money or forced to perform,
sexual favors (FORCED PROSTITUTION) for food and money. Many times they are
forced on the streets to provide income for the family and most times to provide
income to support abusive habits like drugs and alcohol. Some street children are
themselves addicts. Young girls forced into this kind of life have no self esteem,
little life skills, many times no education, they are extremely bitter and full
of anger, many are sexualy abused and so will suffer with life long struggles of
trust and healthy love, and many come from neglectful homes and do suffer with lifelong
social dis-functions.
The primary causal factor driving children to the streets in Tanzania's Kilimanjaro
Region is neglect and abuse of a verbal, physical, and sexual nature.
In the Kilimanjaro Region alone, 30% of young girls in and out of our region are
engaged in sex trade.
Unwanted disabled Girls: A disabled child may be one with downsyndrom
or some type of disease or physical disability that would cause their family to
not want them for fear of them not being able to co-habitat in society. Many times
in Tanzania a child of this nature is abused sexually within the family or tossed
away because they are considered “NO GOOD”.
OUR AIM: To reach out to young girls (toddler-teenager) involved with
prostitution, forced prostitution, abuse cases and also disability cases.
OUR NEEDS:
- We are in need of buying land first. 1 Acre of land or a little over 1 acre, will
approximately cost around $8,000-$11,000 dollars right now.
- We are in need of building material once we get land. To build a facility that will
house around 30 girls will cost approximately $50,000 dollars. (As of he
beginning of the year 2008 we’ve had a 200% inflation rate within our country. The
cost of everything has climbed.
- We are in need of first time start up cost for household appliances and furniture:
$8,000
APPROXIMATE TOTAL COST OF GIRLS HOME PROJECT: $69,000 dollars
Once we have purchased land and have money to buy materials to build we will be
able to bring missions building teams from abroad to come and build and allow people
to experience this 3rd world country of Tanzania and what God is doing.
We are excited at what God is doing and believe his heart is for the children and
people of Tanzania. God has given us a mandate to reach out and be his hands, his
feet and his voice to the children, the youth, the young adults and adults of this
3rd world country. WILL YOU HELP????

“ If a man shuts his ears to the poor (widows, orphans, homeless, abused, broken
families), he too will cry out and not be answered. A generous man will himself
be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.” ~PROVERBS: 21:13,22:9~
