Christmas Appeal update This year’s Christmas Appeal will have raised over £50,000 – very much a record! Our initial cautious target had been £30,000, but your generosity, coupled with incremental pledges from trustees, has put us into a much stronger position than we had believed possible. THANK YOU! So we are protected in continuing to […]

Life continues for Malaika Kids in both Dar-es-Salaam at the Reception Home and for the Relatives Support Programme, as well in the Childrens’ Village in Mkuranga. Here are some pieces of other news. Our Reception Home in Dar es Salaam has recently taken in three girls aged between 10 and 13. One had been burned […]
Malaika Kids UK exists solely to support Malaika Kids Tanzania through a negotiated budget.

In Tanzania, the number of confirmed cases has been low so far. The government, however, expects the country to follow the pattern of most other countries and has already closed every school. This means our Village is thronged with children all day, even those who might normally be boarding at secondary school, as well as […]
Sadly Malaika Kids UK has postponed the recently announced Open Golf day at Denham Golf Club on 30th June. The current situation that is facing everyone as Coronavirus spreads around the world, made its postponement inevitable. We will also lose income because further events are in jeopardy; the stock market decline will take its toll on […]
