Faraja Orphans Rescue Ministry Charity Profile

The founder of Faraja Orphans Rescue Ministry (FORM), Mrs. Sarah Mpanilehi, experienced life in Tanzania as an orphan when both of her parents passed away. Driven by the desire to be the hands of Jesus to other orphans of Tanzania, Sarah and her husband Samuel, in August of 2005, began their ministry with their own savings. They appropriately named their mission Faraja Orpahns Rescue Ministry. In Kiswahili, Faraja means comfort, which is what they desire to provide. Our Mission is to ensure sustainable hope for Orphans, to achieve, promote and encourage them in active participation in informal and formal education, vocational training in order to let them feel mentally, physically, socially and psychologically acceptable in the society.

Faraja Orphans Rescue Ministry Volunteer Information

One of the biggest things we consider a blessing and enjoy are people that volunteer. There is always something that needs to be done within our ministry. We welcome anyone that longs to help whether for a short amount of time or a long amount of time. We pray that the Lord allows our team to grow continually so that our hopes and dreams for this ministry will be accomplished.

In June 2007, we received our first volunteer from Africa Inland Mission (AIM). Katie Holman stayed with us for eight weeks. She served as a short-term missionary coming from Georgia, United States.
In February of 2008, we welcomed three short term missionaries from Africa Inland Mission (AIM). Renee, Stacy and Sabrina stayed with us for 3 months, 4 months and 6 months serving in computer training, making home visits, writing proposals, teaching our sewing girls English and ran our Saturday classes.
