The organization’s primary purpose is to build, operate, and provide financial support for children’s homes in Tanzania for socially disadvantaged children. STREETKIDS International only accepts orphans into these homes. Our goal is to allow children and young people to receive an adequate education and to assist them until they can live an independent life. We work on helping people learn to help themselves to promote sustainable independence.
The Board of Directors or a representative of STREETKIDS International regularly checks up on all of the operations taking place on-site.
It is their responsibility to review the operations taking place and to guarantee that the objectives of the organization are being completed as planned.
That also requires that we ensure proper nutrition and medical care for these children. We take them by the hand and walk with them through the most critical stages in their lives: Step by step. Our children receive an excellent primary education to get them off to a good start in their professional lives.
STREETKIDS International wants to start another home, establish the Medical Camp as a permanent aid project, and further educational programs. For this to be accomplished, we need committed individuals who take their social responsibility above and beyond. We are actively seeking donor companies and plan to establish benefit societies. We would like to help those who open their doors to us and give help where our help is wanted and thankfully accepted. We give young people the possibility to intern at one of the homes; we give people - regardless of their color - a space for sustainable social commitment in the third world.
