About Program
In Tanzania, there is a problem of street children and orphans. This is caused by the death or separation of parents and finally affects children in the community. These children lack material support, and they are threatened with physical assault, with the consequences of HIV / AIDS or other diseases.
Upendo Daima, a street children center under the Catholic Archdiocese of Mwanza, this center was originally founded to address this problem and to provide the children involved with food, clothing, education, and healthcare, also to reintegrate some of the children into their families. By volunteering with us, these children will be thankful.

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
