Tuleeni Orphans Home

Sobre nosotros

Mama Faraji (Executive Director and Owner of Tuleeni Orphans Home) was staying with the Orphans since 2001 in her home but later on 2006 she decided to start an Orphanage after observing that the number of Orphans in her street increase so the possible way to help them is to keep them in the same area and make them live as a family. The reason pushes her to establish the Orphanage was to reduce the problems left to the children who are Orphans after the death of their parents. The word Tuleeni is Swahili word which means ‘please care for us’.

Our Mission
Tuleeni Orphans Home works towards empowering orphans and vulnerable children through provision of services such as education, love and all necessary child needs in daily lives in order to return hope and build a better future for children.

Other Tuleeni Projects
• Mama Faraji also works with women’s groups, typically widows, to teach sustainability. She starts by giving a piglet and seeds to the chairman of the group. Then the women must feed the piglet (from their own excess of food) and plant the seeds. In 9 months the pig will be able to have piglets (if a female) then the woman can sell some of the piglets in order to buy more seeds to plant trees and purchase a chicken in order to have eggs. They are required to plant a new tree every year and give a piglet to another woman when they can. One of these groups, in Uru, is now completely self sustainable and even used the revenue from their pigs to build a small home.
