Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress... — James 1:27
1.3 million orphans in Tanzania.
80% of children who live in children’s homes or orphanages have a living parent. Even more of these kids have a living aunt, uncle, grandmother, or other relative
It costs around $2 a day to feed one child in Tanzania.
“Over the past few years, new information and experience caused us to wonder if there was a better way to care for orphaned and vulnerable children”
— Reimagine Orphan Care, Lindy & Dan Broyles
There are thousands upon thousands of children living in orphanages across Tanzania that we are praying would be reunited with either family members or have the opportunity for adoption. Our ultimate goal is to care for these vulnerable children and to help them find a safe and loving home.
We have two ways in which we are pursuing this goal. The first way is by providing a home for foster children who have been displaced from their families - whether by death, abandonment, or lack of resources. The second way is by working towards building an outreach hub in the city of Dar es Salaam to help connect these vulnerable children with their family/relatives and homes, so that they don’t have to end up in an orphanage.

What We Do
Imagine if the unthinkable happens…. and your child is left without parents. Really picture it.
What would you want for your child? Did you picture them growing up in an orphanage? Or did you picture them finding a loving home and a place to be cherished? That’s exactly how it started for us. While living in Tanzania and learning about children's care, we were struck with the question "What if our children were orphaned for whatever reason? How would we want them cared for?" Since that moment in 2016, we have filtered every decision through that lens to provide quality, safe care for children who are not currently living with their biological families.
How we started…
Your generosity allows us to expand what we do and reach more people. Our number one need is financial support.
Studies have shown that the main reason kids are brought to orphanages, is that families cannot provide for the basic needs of the child. We can help with this. The social workers on the ground, in Tanzania, will be working with families towards reunification, or finding suitable homes. They will be creating financial support plans for each family, and as a result, continued financial support from us will be crucial to helping the process move smoothly so that children can stay with families and not end up in orphanages again.
