Help Tanzanian Kids Thrive – Your Support Makes a Difference!

$350 of $200 goal
Given by 13 generous donors in 11 days

Supporting children in Tanzania with everyday essentials while I volunteer—every bit of help makes a real difference.

Titirangi, Auckland

Two weeks ago, I arrived in Tanzania, not fully knowing what to expect. Since then, I've been deeply moved by what I've seen and experienced.

I’m here volunteering with children through IVHQ and a local organisation, and this experience has already changed my life. Being immersed in this community has opened my eyes in ways I never imagined. The kids I work with are full of joy, resilience, and laughter, even while facing daily challenges many of us will never have to experience.

Many of them go without basics—school supplies, clothing, hygiene essentials, even enough food. And yet, I’ve never felt more inspired or deeply moved. Their strength, kindness, and openness have shifted my perspective in ways I’ll carry forever.

That’s why I’ve created this page. Your donation will go directly towards purchasing essential items that I will personally hand-deliver to children and families while I’m here.

I’m not here to change the world, but I do believe small, thoughtful actions can make a real difference. Your contribution, no matter the size, becomes part of something real and meaningful.

If you’re in a position to help, I’d be truly grateful for your support. I’m here, witnessing the need and the hope every single day, and I promise to make sure your generosity goes exactly where it’s needed most.

Thank you for being part of this journey 💛

Use of funds

Funds will be used to buy school supplies, hygiene kits, clothing, and food for children in need. All donations go towards purchasing as many essential items as possible while I’m volunteering.
