Bilka Family Ilala Boma
Background, goal and our vision
The founder of Bilka Family Ilala Boma Susanne Stridh Mgonja have always wanted to work to help people in need in Africa. She did not know where to start, but two years ago she got in contact with a woman who was born in Tanzania who was already working with helping poor children. Susanne started to get involved and spring of 2015 she traveled to Dar Es Salaam Tanzania Africa for the first time. In the summer of 2015, she lived for more than three months in the district Ilala ( Dar Es Salaam) where she now has started her project Bilka Family Ilala Boma. The children in the area who live in absolute misery went right into Susanne's heart, and she Decided then to slowly start building up the ghetto by working with projects and start to help the most vunerable familys and gradually transform the area. The goal Is that Every Child Should have his own mentor, the aim is to give the children a better living, give them knowledge on how to "fish" insted of just "giving fish". Susanne believe in creating a life style by utilizing their own natural resources, and craft. Donations will go to programs for malnourished children, school and medical care. You can do a lot with the right knowledge and She want to make Ilala to a Eco Village. Susanne has big goals and large visions and she aim to raise the standard of living for the children in Ilala Boma. Susanne is studying to be a nurse and has one course left to graduate. Her experience in personal development are one the keys that will be used in the project to raise the standard of living of children in Ilala Boma. Our Excecutive Benjamin lives in the area and meet all the children on a daily basis. We have our own doctor who will make continuous health checks of children each month. Our lawyer is our legal support and he will also be close to the children in the way that he goes out to them and teaches women's rights. We will create activities for children and teenagers to avoid that they end up in crime.
