Walk In Love International, Inc is a registered 501 (c) 3 NGO in the United States and all donations are tax deductible. I, Aubree Packard, am the founder and chairperson of Walk in Love International as well as the founder and chairperson of Walk In Love Tanzania, a registered NGO in Tanzania. Our aim is to assist and support families that are struggling to keep their children, a child relative, or an orphan in their homes and communities. Many women and families struggle to support their children and often have no other choice but to place them in orphanages or into families where children can be abused and neglected. Our mission is to empower women, families and communities by offering vocational training, small business loans, educational sponsorship, food programs, and employment opportunities to the women and families in our community. We also offer a service that is very foreign in Tanzania, a daycare. We provide a safe place for children to come to during the day. To often children are left at home to fend for themselves while their mothers are working. This is not an easy decision but one that single mothers have to make every day here in Tanzania. A mother can stay home and watch as her children waste away from malnutrition or she can leave her child behind in a home with no supervision while she makes enough money to pay the rent and pay for food. This is not an easy decision and one that we feel should not even have to be made. We opened up a free daycare so women in our community no longer have to worry about what will happen to their children during the day. The WIL Community Center is place where the community can come together, discuss their problems and come up with solutions. There is often singing and dancing and always the sounds of running feet and giggling babies.
We are a public charity and run all of our programs from donations. If you would like to make a one time donation to our program please follow the donate button. If you would like to become a monthly sponsor and help us cover our monthly expenses which include rent, electricity, food, teacher salaries, security and community center maintenance please follow the subscribe button. You can also follow the subscribe button to sponsor a child that attends our daycare, a woman in one of our empowerment groups, a teacher or nannies salary and general donations to cover the costs of running our community center and programs.
Thank you for your support! We could not do what we do without your support!
