Malaika Kids USA is a registered charity and part of a growing international network of volunteers. We work particularly closely with Malaika Kids Charities in The UK and The Netherlands, where the main development and design work takes place, and with Malaika Kids Tanzania which is responsible for the control and running of the Dar es Salaam orphanage, the new Children’s Village in Mkuranga and of the Relatives Support Program. Our primary responsibility in the USA is to raise money to sponsor projects and work with the development and management initiatives in Tanzania.
