Tanzania is a small country on the east coast of Africa just south of Kenya. Most of the people live in mud-walled huts with grass roofs and mud floors. The children usually sleep on the floor, on grass woven mats. Their diet consists mainly of ugali (cornmeal cooked very stiffly) along with spinach or beans cooked with tomatoes and onions. Along with meat, milk and sweets are rarely in their diet because they cannot afford to buy it. Unless they grow their own fruit, it is also absent from their meals. Because most people cook over open fires, the children sometimes play near fire, and this can often cause serious accidents. Your sponsorship offers this child hope and a future.
