Two new children have joined our family: two little brothers, aged 4 months and 2 years. They are adjusting well to the foster home and have been warmly welcomed by everyone. Seeing them smile and start to feel at home brings us great joy.
This summer, we had several visitors. Among them was Arianna, a dear volunteer of ours, who visited again, this time with husband. We also had the pleasure of welcoming back Giulia, who first came to us in 2023, along with her sister Giorgia.
It’s also harvest time! This year, we had a large crop of tomatoes. Some will be frozen to enjoy in the coming months. |

We are approaching the end of the school year for Tanzanian schools, and at Malaika House, there’s a busy atmosphere with final exams and assessments. The children are all very focused on their studies during this intense period.
We are also excited to share some wonderful news: three of our younger boys have recently started attending an international school, joining three girls from Malaika who are already studying there. This opportunity was made possible thanks to fully-funded scholarships from the Aumund Foundation. It’s an incredible opportunity for their future, and we couldn’t be prouder of them! |

In 18 years of work, over 56% of the children taken in by the home have been reunited with their families. This process goes beyond childhood, also supporting young adults as they integrate into society. Like the young woman in the photo, who graduated this year.
One of the biggest challenges in recent years has been helping the older children gain independence as they become adults. After leaving Malaika, these young people face the transition to independent living. To support this, we’ve launched a new project focused on independence, with a dedicated budget. |
