Neema House Arusha
The mission of Neema House Arusha is to rescue abandoned, orphaned and at-risk babies. With a large staff of nannies and other care givers they provide around the clock care, food and shelter for newborns and infants up to age three. Their first goal is that the babies be reunited with their extended family before age three if possible or adopted by Tanzanian couples. They provide training and support for those families. Failing all else,they will continue to provide for the children until adulthood. They also seek to educate, motivate and assist young women, mothers and widows with life skills, parenting skills and micro-business opportunities. They have a special emphasis on AIDS widows, a much neglected group in African society.
------
Neema House is a rescue center for abandoned and orphaned babies, offering women education, micro-business opportunities and life skills, reuniting children with extended families and renewing hope to AIDs widows.
The most vulnerable in Africa are newborns and infants. Because of poverty and desperation, abandoned babies are often left on roadsides, in latrines, and by the gates of churches, hospitals, and police stations. One of our babies, Zawadi, was left abandoned at the bus station. Tiny 1.65 lb. Elliott, was abandoned at the hospital. Helena, Meshack, Praygod, and others, were orphaned when their mothers died. Deborah, Anna and Esther, tiny triplets, were so small they would not have survived without help. All these and others are now thriving at Neema House.
Neema House began taking in babies June 1, 2012. The current focus is orphaned, abandoned, and at risk babies up to age three.
