Children
Who is an Orphan
The definition of Orphan used by the government of the United Republic of Tanzania through social welfare departments and by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF). “A child under the age of 18 who has lost one or both parents.”
The little window of a world that we are creating here at OFF in Tanzania is becoming a beautiful thing with unity of purpose for the children of Tanzania. Time and money from loving people such as you, an ever-growing vision of the future, and government leaders who support us with all that they can. Together we are empowering orphaned and vulnerable children to become active members of the community rather than just victims, their lives can be given purpose and dignity. They are a vital part of the solution and should be supported in planning and carrying out efforts to lessen the impact of Aids in their families and communities.
