Story

When my family and I visited Zanzibar last year, I met an amazing group of children, who don't have anything other than the smiles on their faces!  I want to switch my birthday presents this year to help raise money to set up a Saturday food kitchen for the towns poorest 100 children.  They need £278 to buy the basic equipment   Instead of birthday presents this year I would love to raise money to help buy the basic equipment.  

**It costs £241 per month to keep it running, so if anyone can spare a small monthly donation then please let my mum know!

A little more about it:

The vision: To make a life changing difference to poor and vulnerable children living in Zanzibar, striving to meet their physical, educational, spiritual and social needs, to help them reach their full potential and become educated, independent young adults who know their self-worth. 

The starting point: Our aim is to start small and build from there. We want to begin by addressing the physical need of food by starting a Saturday Feeding project, initially for 40-60 of the most vulnerable children, rising to 100 kids in the Jambiani area.

To begin with we will rely upon a small group of volunteers, led by Clalence to identify the most needy children, and to deliver the Saturday Club.

As well as the provision of food, the Saturday Club will also begin to meet the social needs of children by providing group activities such as acrobatics and street dancing. 

About my friend Clalence:

Clalence was the very first child we helped in Iringa in 2007!
He lived on and off the streets for many years, but thanks in part to the love and help he received from FISCH, he not only survived but became a man with a heart for helping others in need.In the past few years Clalence set up Move Zanzibar, a non-profit organisation whose vision is to move, educate and motivate the young generation of Zanzibar. The plan is for Move Zanzibar to become a project of FISCH, so we can work together to make a difference for the most vulnerable children in Zanzibar.

FISCH always aim to have a direct impact on the needs of the most
vulnerable children.  There long-term aim is for these children to become self-sufficient, balanced, well rounded and valuable members of the community.

About the charity

Future for Iringa Street Children

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1159350
Providing the street children of Iringa, Tanzania, with a hope and a future. We aim to support these vulnerable children living in desperate circumstances by providing food, shelter and education, and moral awareness within a Christian context. For many of these children, the regular support of food and input from our staff at FISCH centre, becomes the only constant they can rely on in an otherwise very fragile existence. Our long term aim is for the street children to become self-sufficient, balanced, well rounded and valuable members of the community. FISCH stands for Future for Iringa Street Children. We were founded in 2007, and became a Trust in Charity in the UK in 2016. Our ground activities, achieved by FISCH Trust in Tanzania, are holistic - they target physical, social and spiritual needs which include food, shelter within a family environment, education, moral awareness and children having the opportunity to hear about God and the love of Jesus. Our long term aim is for the street children to become self-sufficient, balanced, well rounded and valuable members of the community. We hope that by our actions and presence in the community we might prevent children turning to the streets in the first place. We have seen many children turn their lives around. Many have been re-united with families and relatives
