Tanzania: How Pippi House helps runaway girls reunite with their families

Pippi house is a complete solution for girls who without financial help will have very small chances of gaining education, self-sufficiency, marriage and other things that we all want for our children. Right now we have 11 girls staying with us. They are between 15 and 24 years old. Our work method is similar to having foster children.

Social workers build them psychologically and socially, Pippi house also receives English speaking volunteers from abroad on a regular basis. We provide longtime accommodation for three years with comfortable beds, good food, education, domestic skills and time for resting. There are today many different kinds of NGO-centers specialized in one specific area. Because of the tuff conditions the girls comes from, offering one service is often not enough for a sustainable positive development. Offering a complete solution helps the girls to focus on their schoolwork.
