Tanzania - Child First Baby Home

The facility

The house will take in its first charges in January 2025. It is located in a small town at the foot of Mount Meru. It has good interior fittings. The outdoor area still needs to be made child-friendly.

This facility is something very special. It is a shelter for babies and small children in need. It takes in children whose mothers died during childbirth, who were abandoned or whose families are unable to care for the little ones for a variety of reasons.

They receive medical care in the baby house. Many nannies lovingly look after the children 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

At the age of three, the children are, if possible, reintegrated into their original family, adoptive parents are sought, or they are cared for in another orphanage.

Twenty children between the ages of zero and three are to find a temporary home here.

   

Here's how you can help

Nuruana, the manager of the baby home, and her team are looking forward to seeing you. There is a lot to do at the Child First Baby Home.

Looking after babies is particularly time-consuming. They are changed, fed and lovingly cared for. There is a lot of work involved in washing the babies and regular hygiene must be ensured.

In the playgroup you can get involved in a variety of ways. Washing, dressing, feeding, playing, singing - give the children your attention.

Your support is also needed in the group of two to three-year-olds. The children are happy to play and have fun with you in the fresh air or to be kept busy in a variety of ways in the playroom (painting, singing, romping, finger games, etc.).

Talk to the staff on site so that you can best implement your skills and ideas.

One thing is already certain:

The children will capture your heart.

If you would like to bring something for the children, please speak to us. We are always in contact with the facility and can tell you what is needed.
