Seeway Tanzania (SWTz) provides a home to orphaned and vulnerable children in Tengeru, close to Arusha in northern Tanzania. We run family-style houses, eight children maximum to a house, each house managed by a Tanzanian ‘mama’ and assisted by other Tanzanian staff.
By renting local houses, our children live as part of the local community rather than being separated and institutionalised. Our homes are safe, and comfortably furnished, providing an environment of peace where hurts can be healed, and hope for a future can be nurtured. Our children arrive emotionally, spiritually, and sometime physically, bruised. But with love we see changes quickly.
We ensure every child within our care has access to education and health care. To supplement their education, and to provide a creative outlet, all our children attend music lessons (keyboard, guitar, drums…) which they love!!
SWTz was founded by Rebecca Jackson and Wendy Kelley who have been living and working in Tanzania since February 2004, together with Faith Edward and Frida Eberts – Tanzanians dedicated to changing the lives of vulnerable children. We have been registered with the Government of Tanzania since August 2006.
We are committed Christians who believe, and do, what it says in James 1:27 "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."
Tanzania, one of the poorest countries in the world, has a predominantly young population with an estimated 45% of the population under 15 years of age. Due to factors including AIDS, it is estimated there are over 1 million orphans, and this figure rises daily. This is why SWTz exists.
Seeway Trust is a registered charity no. 1074868
