About Us
Our Mission:
With dignity and love, we provide care for sick, abandoned and disabled children, as well as those who are unsupported in the Kilimanjaro and Manyara Regions of Tanzania.
About Us:
Light in Africa was established in 2000 when Lynn Elliott from the UK (affectionately known as Mama Lynn) felt a calling to come to Africa and help the many children impacted by HIV/AIDS.
Since those early days, it has been estimated that more than 350,000 children and adults have been assisted in the community. The organization runs nine homes for children, offers a food kitchen in the mining region, and provides medical outreach in rural villages. Our homes provide the basic needs for each child in its care, giving them a quality education, vocational training, and nurturing love. As a result, each child has a sense of belonging, from birth through adulthood, in the big Light in Africa family.
Volunteering:
Each year volunteers visit us from all over the world to make a difference-- medical work, social work, and gap students; retired persons, couples, and families. All of whom bring much needed funding and skills to support our programs. To learn more about volunteering, visit our website at lightinafrica.org.
