Baobab Home
We are an NGO based in Bagamoyo, Tanzania, East Africa. We provide outreach assistance to babies and toddlers orphaned to AIDS and poverty. We are also in the process of founding a small orphanage for abandoned children to provide interim care, in the hope that foster or adoptive care can be found. Social Services has requested that the Home serve children from birth to 3 years of age, and we will accept sick and healthy children, regardless of HIV status.
