Who we are...
Streetkids International e.V. is a small, independent children's charity based in Frankfurt am Main. As a non-profit organisation, Streetkids International e.V. cares for the poorest of the poor in Tanzania, its orphans. They are brought from the streets or from situations of extreme neglect to Streetkids' orphanages and are given a safe home, optimal education and the chance of a healthy, happy childhood and future.
The work of Streetkids International e.V., including all its projects, is financed entirely by donations from companies, organisations and private individuals. Members do not receive any donations from the association's funds. The administrative costs are less than 10% of the donations. The Streetkids International Tanzania Branch is registered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
What we do...
Streetkids International e.V. runs four orphanages in Mwandege, a small village outside Dar es Salaam.
Under the name “Tumaini Children's Home”, streetkids, orphans and other vulnerable children are given the opportunity to grow up safely in a family environment. We currently have 20 staff members, including local house parents, who care for our children and young people and manage the two properties. All the children in Tumaini have lost one or both parents and have no remaining relatives. Many of them are AIDS orphans. Due to AIDS, the traditional extended family in Tanzania loses part of its integrating and stabilising function, which is particularly felt by the economically weaker - especially girls and women. Orphans are thus one of the most vulnerable groups in the population and are the most neglected. Streetkids International e.V. started up the 20 years ago and since then has provided for countless children and given them new hope (Tumaini). They are lovingly cared for and are provided with healthy food and clean water. In addition, each child receives quality education. Streetkids International e.V. runs a Montessori Kindergarten and Day Care Centre as well as a Primary School on its own property. Furthermore, through partnerships with various institutions in the field of secondary education, the young people are provided with further education.
Where it goes...
In addition to providing care and education for orphans, another concern of Streetkids International e.V. is to invest in the career opportunities and professions of young people. The aim is to provide individual support and guidance along their path. The Tumaini Institute for Schools & Trainings (TIST) awards sponsorships in the areas of entrepreneurial training as well as further technical and university education. At the same time, the regional networking of various (educational) institutions in Tanzania is strengthened and increased.
