"The future of every nation depends on children’s physical, mental, social and spiritual well being."

ABOUT US

Bethlehem orphanage center was started after seeing a lot of children homeless around the Arusha Municipal; many of which have never attended school.  A lot of children have also been left as orphans due to the HIV pandemic.  Such a situation has led to a lot of street children referred to as Orphan Vulnerable Children (OVC). These children do not have food, and miss parental love and care.  The future of every nation depends on children’s physical, mental, social and spiritual well being.



 

The Bethlehem Center For Children was opened May 1, 2007 by the founder, a lovely Christian Tanzanian woman, Mrs. Tumaini Munisi.  

 

Initially there were 8 children living in Mrs. Munisi’s care, 3 boys and 5 girls, in two small rooms with just the basics.  Through God’s blessings of generous volunteering and giving, Bethlehem ophanage has expanded and developed enough living space for our now 15 children.

The United Republic of Tanzania is situated 5 degrees south of equator, with a population of around 40 million. The Bethlehem Orphanage is in the Arusha Municipal, the town which is inhabited with Wa Arusha, Wameru, Wamasai and mixture of other tribes.  

 

Tourist attractions in the area include the world-famous Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa's highest mountain), national parks, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
