About
The Orphan Foundation Fund (O.F.F) was founded in 2002 and is a registered non profit, non government organization (NGO), headquartered in Arusha Tanzanian.
We are an organization that endeavors to protect the most valuable members of our societies and stop the downward spiral of poverty, disease and illiteracy. We at O.F.F foster a dignified and sheltered life for children who have fallen victim to the scourge of destitution, solitude and are at the risk of HIV/AIDS.
Tanzanian is a home to 39.4 million people.
2.5 million are orphans, and an estimated 44% are under 15.
1.1 million estimated numbers of orphans are living with HIV/AIDS, and a further 38% are suffering from malnutrition.
