9-year-old- Kelvin, wearing a newly bought school uniform made possible by WOW Tanzania Donors
This little boy is 9-year-old Kelvin. He and his two siblings live with their mother who has not been able to work. They cannot afford the basic needs to send him to school and having access to daily meals, water, and electricity is not assured. still, in great need, Kelvin is no longer wearing torn-up clothes to school. He is now wearing a newly bought uniform. Wakefulness Orphans and Widows are truly grateful to our donors. It's because of them that these children are able to have new clothes to wear instead of the alternative.
A STORY BY Paula
Little, Aziza, after a day of some much-needed food and shopping.
Aziza often had to go to the neighbor’s house to be fed. She was suffering from a bacterial infection and needed medical attention, clean clothes, and water. Thanks to Wakefulness Orphans and Widows donors, little Aziza is now in her newly bought school uniform during a shopping trip with her 2 brothers. The children were taken shopping by WOW Tanzania founders Paula and Betsie and received much-needed food and clothes bought with money from donors. Thank you to our donors. Your contributions are a tremendous help.
A STORY BY Betsie
Primary School student, Joseph, seen with his younger brother and sister after a fun day of shopping with WOW Tanzania founders Paula and Betsie.
Joseph who is sitting far left holding the baby in the first picture is now standing in the middle in the second picture looking like a different young man after a fun day of food and shopping with the WOW Tanzania team. He is still in primary school with his brother and sister. Because of abuse and neglect, he was downtrodden and without hope. Thanks to donors and their kind contributions, these children now have hope and are already looking different.
A STORY BY MIKE
Seen on the far right in the red t-shirt with his younger sister Aziza and older brother Joseph Emmanuel is a different little boy made possible by WOW Tanzania donors.
Emmanuel on the far right in a red t-shirt is with his younger sister Aziza and older brother Joseph. Due to domestic violence, their mother was forced to leave the home. Suffering from neglect, he often went without meals and did not have adequate access to clean running water. Seen in the second picture with his brother and sister after an amazing day made possible by donors, Emmanuel is sporting some new clothes on a full stomach.

OUR PROJECTS

WOW Tanzania Student Fund
WOW Tanzania Student Fund – A scholarship fund supporting two groups: Young people who have volunteered or worked with us for at least one year and are already enrolled in the final stages of a professional school program (e.g., teaching, healthcare, mechanics). Vulnerable children placed in safe boarding schools due to unstable or abusive home environments. Both aspects aim to protect, educate, and launch the next generation of professionals and leaders.
