Since 2004 PACT Tanzania has been conducting series of training sessions on tracking funds being issued to orphans especially those living in poor conditions. In Arusha we work in 24 districts catering for 3600 children.

PACT works with St. Lucia – Arusha an organization which provides seminars and other education al sessions to teachers, we also work with religious groups and the ministry for social welfare. We have discovered that problems facing orphans include poor nutrition, lack of education and social stigma.

Here at Sanawari, we have been calling meetings to address issues of children living under dangerous situations, formed a special committee and established a bank account currently with Tsh. 87,000.

We have also been getting donations from St. Lucia organization of Moshono in terms of beddings, clothing, food and school facilities for children.

I am an orphan, both my parents are dead. I live with my grandmother and we depend on friends to survive. Fortunately, I did well in Primary education and now I expect to join Secondary School. We are glad to be invited to seminars like these for they boost out self confidence.

In order to survive, that is to eat and at least get school uniform, I am compelled to do odd jobs here and there in the neighborhood but some good Samaritans and neighbors offer some assistance as well.

I don’t always get food promptly and I do trek a long distance to school daily. All the same, I never give up hope and neither should anybody regardless of his or her situation.
