Forever Angels Baby Home Most people in Tanzania live on a food called Ugali. Ugali looks like mashed potato, but it tastes like uncooked dough. It is made from 6 cups of water and 4 cups of maize flour or white cornmeal that has been finely ground. Imagine eating this for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day?

Forever Angels Baby Home The schools in Tanzania have about 80 – 100 children in one class. They don’t have equipment like whiteboards, libraries and computers….in fact, most do not even have chairs and tables! Look around your school and see how much equipment there is. Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have anything?

Forever Angels Baby Home There are more than 1.5 million orphans living in Tanzania. For every 10 children that are born, one dies. By 2010 it is expected that one in every ten children in Tanzania under the age of 15 will be an orphan. Tanzania is in a desperate situation and the children are the ones who are suffering.
