Transforming Children's Lives

Upendo Foundation Australia is a not-for-profit charity whose sole purpose is to provide the financial means to operate our children’s home for orphaned and street kids in Tanzania.

​

The home creates a safe refuge for vulnerable children who have no family support. The children stay with us until they are of age and ready to transition into a life in the community. They are our family and never really leave us.

Our mission is to help children out of poverty by providing hope for the future, a safe, loving, and nurturing environment, nourishing food and quality education.

 

We invite you to learn more about what we do, sign up to our newsletter and support us by donating to our family.

 

Asante │Thank you

Help us build our new home for children

A lot of love is needed to address the estimated 1.3 million orphaned and homeless children of Tanzania.

​

Today we are renting premises to house our children, which limits our ability to expand and offer support to more children in need. ​​​

​

We recently bought a block of land in Tanzania, to start creating our own home, providing security and a sure future for our children.

Our aim this year is to raise money to fence the 9 acres for the children’s safety and to keep the Massai livestock off the crops we're intending to plant.

​

Plans for a purpose built home will follow when fund become available.

​

In advance we thank you for your generous donation to our campaign in supporting our mission to build a better future for orphaned children in Africa.
