Maus Foundation - Our Mission

Our vision is for each orphan to become a valued member of the Maus Festival Orphanage Center: so that they may get a better life than never before. Our goal is to promote education and health for underprivileged orphans in the village of Kisongo near the town of Arusha, northern Tanzania, Africa.

Maus Foundation - Who we are

Maus Foundation Orphanage Center was primarily a rescue center for abandoned, orphaned and at risk babies in Arusha, Tanzania, East Africa. Hundreds of babies, have been rescued and most of those have either been adopted through the Tanzania Social Welfare System or returned to an extended family member. As God led Maus Foundation into more ways to help, programs to help women who had been abandoned were added. Realizing that many of the babies who came to Maus Foundation had lost their mothers in childbirth, a program to teach traditional birthers out in remote villages better ways to help deliver babies safely was begun. That is what Maus Foundation is all about, making new happy families.

Maus Foundation - Future Dreams

Establishing a school uniform for our children. We would like every child to wear the same uniform to create a sense of solidarity and identity for our center. One of our girls already got a uniform to test it, it is made of traditional massai fabric and we think it suits her very well!

Having our own car

There are a lot of occasions where a car would be very helpful. Bringing food to our center without having to pay a taxi, picking up guests/volunteers from the airport, going on excursions with the kids and most important: being able to drive to the hospital in case of emergencies.

Equipment for the new office

For printing the certificates of our volunteers, preparing the data for the sponsored children, printing monthly exams and photocopying important documents we have to use the service of a shop every time which is very expensive. It would be a lot easier if we had our own printer and a photocopy machine.

Total cost:

1 uniform: around 21 euro/ 23 us dollar
photocopy machine: 632 euro/ 671 us dollar
printer “Epson L805”: 368 euro/ 400 us dollar
desktop computer: 463 euro/ 492 us dollar
