One of the things I wish I could have fit in was a visit to the Amani Children’s Home in Moshi.
Amani Children’s Home is dedicated to the protection of Tanzania’s most vulnerable population: street-children and AIDS orphans. It is estimated that there are 2.5 million orphaned children in Tanzania.
Since its founding by Tanzanians in 2001, Amani has rescued hundreds of children from the perils of life on the streets, where they face a high risk of HIV transmission, malnutrition, and abuse.
Visitors are invited to take a tour of Amani and learn more about our programs within the community. Afterwards you can spend time with the children, kicking around a soccer ball, coloring or playing games.
Amani deeply appreciates the desire to bring supplies for the children. Most items that the kids need can be purchased locally quite cheaply. However, there are always some supplies that cannot be purchased in Tanzania.
I checked the bus schedule but it just doesn't work. Moshi is 1.5 hours away from Arusha.
