Know more about Shalom Orphanage Center
THE SHALOM ORPHANAGE CENTRE
This is my vision, this is what fills
my heart, to visit and help people in needy in a way I can. Now days, I have
been in Arusha and Manyara regions visiting disadvantages people and orphanage
center. I am now settled in and started volunteering at the orphanage in full
force. The children are wonderful, full of love and laughter. I help the
youngest kids in a way I can include raising their talents, those who are music
talented I took them to my studio, composing songs for them, recording their
songs, making their videos as you can see some on youtube etc. Also I do
teaching them and showing them the love of God. They have taken me on a few
walks around the area. I had a chance to sit down and talk with the founder and
local volunteer to learn more about the organization. Here is the inspirational
yet heart wrenching story.
One of the interest center is Shalom
Orphanage Center: Mama Warra Nnko is an amazing lady and the children and staff
at Shalom are full of love. Mama Warra wants to empower these children to know
how important it is to continue to help and sharing to others what they have.
These children have no iPods, no cell phones, no video games new clothes and on
Christmas Day they go into town to meet the street children and bring them
food, pencils, clothes, and toys – all items that were donated to them and they
then share these gifts and give them to other children who do not have a place
like Shalom, they call it “Celebrate Christmas Donated By Shalom.”
Shalom believes that every child has
a dream and it is their hope to give these children an opportunity to use their
skills and gifts to reach their full potential and see their dreams become
reality. They can’t do this on their own there is a high demand for support.

The Shalom Orphanage Centre is located in a small town called Karatu in
Tanzania which is about a two hour drive from the airport, and very close to
the Ngorongoro Crater safari destination. It’s in a lush green valley, down a
dirt road away from the main town.
The orphanage is currently home to 75 children, aged between 1 and 14 years old. It was founded by Mama Nnko in 2004 and has grown a lot since then. The orphanage sits on a two acre plot of land that was donated by an NGO and comprises a number of buildings where the children eat, sleep, are schooled and play.
Most of the children arrive at Shalom through the death of their parents or because they have been abandoned.
There are around 14 staff that care for the children and tend to the grounds (the orphanage has a few animals and a garden where some food is grown). The Orphanage runs a pre-school for around twenty of the youngest children. The older children attend the local government primary school.
All the children are looked after extremely well despite the Orphanage’s limited resources. They are full of energy, love playing games, and LOVE having visitors!
