Message from our Patron
It is with great pleasure that I formally accept your invitation to be patron of Malaika Kids. This acceptance is a recognition by myself and the High Commission of Tanzania of the noble work Malaika Kids is doing for the under privileged children in Tanzania.

Support from the district commissioner in Mkuranga

Tanzania is divided into districts. The first children’s village will be in the district of Mkuranga. At the head of each district is a commissioner. It’s therefore very important that Haifa Kara Magi, the district commissioner of Mkuranga is fully behind our project.

Consultation with the district commissioner of Mkuranga.
And she certainly is! (of the 140 DC’s, 11 are women.). During their visit, Ted and Jamilla Koch spoke to her and a number of security personnel of the district. The district commissioner promised full support for Malaika Kids.. Her door will always be open to us, she said, for example if more land were required.

We also discussed with her how the village could become self supporting. Malaika Kids has a number of ideas, which fit well with those of the DC. She added a number of other ideas, such as a bakery (bread is currently brought in from Dar es Salaam), a fruit processing plant and a technical school. The priorities of Malaika Kids and the DC are not always the same, but with such a good relationship, we feel certain that consensus will be reached.
