Orphanage Now Open in Dar es Salaam
Saturday, June 30th was the official opening of the Huruma Children’s Home in Kimara, Dar es Salaam. With official government registration promised and the rented home complete with beds, furniture and kitchen supplies, the Huruma Home is now ready to receive it’s first orphans.

Several local government officials were present for the opening, as well as church leaders and members from all four of our churches in Dar es Salaam. After the ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony, special prayer was made for this new ministry of mercy. Pilau was then served and the cake was cut.

Jessie and Shalimar Tingson have been working hard to get the orphanage up and running. Steven and Loveness Mwalukasa, former members of our church in Mbezi Beach, are the caregivers for the orphans. They are assisted by Neema, a single lady in the Kimara church and a part time social worker.
Huruma is the Swahili word for “mercy.” Our prayer is that Huruma Children’s Home will be a place where mercy gives children a second chance, care for their physical needs, and a foundation for this life and the life to come. Thank you to those who have sent the needed contributions. Please pray for this new orphanage ministry.
