Malaika Orphanage

Malaika is close by the School of St Jude, so if you visit St Jude certainly a visit to this orphanage is well worth it. The children will leave a lasting impression on you. There is a great need for this kind of facility as there are many children in Arusha whose parents died of Aids. Two local Arusha women, Francesca Aimone and Jutta Kassam founded this orphanage to give love and care to the children who very sadly have been orphaned.
