This is at the heart of CHaRA and why we exist. We started by sponsoring 5 orphans to boarding school. All of them graduated and are doing well! Luhende was the first child God placed in our care for medical help: he was abandoned by his parents. H now works for us at the Birth Hope Center. As God brings children in need to our attention, we respond, most times by pure faith that the needs can be met. Every circumstance will be different but one, the need for a home: a safe place, shelter, food, education and love. We could not refuse James 1:27, “Religion that God the Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself form being polluted by the world.” Help us look after orphans. Help us build them a home.

Abandoned Baby House

We are building a home for babies that have been abandoned by their families. In this new facility, we will minister holistically to the baby and their family. Our prayerful plan is for each baby to be adopted by a loving family or be reunited with their birth family.

Orphanage for Street Kids

Our newest project is the construction of an orphanage for street kids in Dangobesh. The first phase is to build a duplex for the Pastor and the Director of the orphanage. The old mud constructed buildings, including pastor’s 12×12 home, will be removed to make room for the orphanage buildings. You can help us build a safe home for street kids where they can eat, sleep, and discover God’s plan for their lives!

Birth Hope Center

In 2018, construction of the Birth Hope Center in Dongobesh Tanzania began. The building of the Birth Hope Center has been our greatest project. It is located on 10 acres of land; we farm 8 of the acres! In addition, we have built 3 homes for babies, 2 which enable us to care for the babies of our BHC girls, and one for abandoned and orphaned babies. We also have added a team house and missionary quarters on the property.

Hope Home and Shops

Soon after the Birth Hope Center was filled with girls and babies, we knew another construction project was necessary: the Hope Home and Shops. This is a home and workplace for the girls that graduate from the Center and training schools. They are ready to begin their independent life but need the help of older women to mentor and teach them how to be successful. There is an office for the women’s ministry of the TAG Haydom who mentors the girls while overseeing the business. The first four girls moved into their home and began work in December of 2024.

Foundational Education

CHaRA helps pastors with transportation and education. We support kids in need and girls from the Birth Hope Center to school. We believe education is an important part of life. No one cam take education from you. It will open doors of opportunity so that a person can take care of themselves and their family. It can equip a person for the challenges of life. Education helps a person know right from wrong. It opens the Word of God to a person which guides every area of a person’s life. Our girls at the Center have a choice of secondary school or technical school so they are prepared for the future God has planned for them.
