Tumaini Children’s Center

We believe that it is possible to improve the world by giving the most vulnerable children a reasonable prerequisite to create their own development. The street children project Tumaini was started in 2003 and since then an average of one child per week has been helped by the project. Education, food and shelter is provided by Tumaini and the staff work together with the society to reintegrate the children in a well-functioning family situation. Children are also helped with counseling, health problems and other special needs. A recent evaluation report shows that children who have been reintegrated into society feel equal with children who have had a secure upbringing.

The center is owned by the ELCT-NWD and the major donor is a swedish organization called Svetan www.svetan.org.
