Aid for Orphans in Afrika
In 1997, a private initiative began with the aid of Werner Schwarz for orphans in Tanzania in the village Kamishango (Kagera region). The will to extend such aid led to the foundation of our association "Lebenshilfe für Afrika e. V." in 2000. All members of the association are volunteers.
Originally starting with 11 founding members, we now have attracted over 140 members.
We also support:
- 22 secondary school students in Rubay in the area of Bukoba in their "minor seminary", which is a preparation for the studies for priesthood.
- The education of 20 children in need in Tabora.
- A pottery school for blind and visually impaired young people.
