or email jambojam@ymail.comAll profits from ticket sales go directly to help the children at Grace's Children's Home and Boma Orphanage.We look forward to seeing you there!BOMA ORPHANAGE, TANZANIA Kichijo (Kilimanjaro Children Joy Foundation) was set up in aid of Boma Ng'ombe orphanage, Tanzania. Mama Lucie Lema and the family provide support and a loving home for over 120 orphaned and abandoned children, ranging from 8 months to 20 years. The initial aim was to raise enough money to buy the existing home that Mama rents for the orphans. Due to the ever increasing number of babies being dropped at the door, the number of children is rapidly rising and the facilities are not up to a standard where it would be economical to buy the property; 6 infants to a bed, barely existent kitchen facilities and desperately poor sanitary conditions. It was therefore decided to buy a piece of land to rebuild a new home for the Boma children, including dormitories, bathrooms, a kitchen & dining area, play area and farmland. There are plans to build a well and install solar panels to keep running costs low.

GRACE'S CHILDREN'S HOME, KENYA Grace's Children's Home was set up by retired teachers Annah Moko and her husband who noticed the poverty and abuse of little girls in their local area. Initially only starting with a few children, the number continues to grow. Annah and her husband have no income and have attempted to live sustainable livelihoods by growing and eating the produce from their small plot of land. However, as the number of children has grown, this has been impossible. The children are in full time education but living conditions are tough as there are not enough beds, money for food or clothes. Another issue facing Grace's Children's Home is that they rent their plot of land and do not have enough money to buy it which means they could have it taken away from them at anytime. If Grace's Children's Home could purchase the land then their problems would be solved. In the meantime, they survive on little food and small donations from people.
