Jericho Orphanage Home is a children's orphanage located near ngorongoro which is about 3km from Arusha to Moshi highway, In karatu, Arusha region in East Africa.

This is unfortunately also a relatively poor area where most people have to struggle every day to make ends meet. Poverty, poor health, HIV/AIDS and massive unemployment are the main challenges people meet. Many children are orphans or live in families that are not able to care for them at all.

It was therefore in 2009 that Mr. Kabalo B. Mathias and other organization member opened their doors to some of the destitute and orphaned children in Arusha region.


Jericho Orphanage Home started by accommodating seven children, but over the years the number of children increased, and now Jericho Orphanage Home caters for over 50 children, both girls and boys. The children are between one and 15 years old.

The children are drawn mainly from every corner at Arusha town in some districts of our country. The home offers the only real hope for some of Tanzania?s most damaged children. This unique residence provides the children with a warm homely accepting environment and education to help the children come to terms with their experiences. 

The home has now expanded and has a big room for a soccer field, a basketball court, and we now demanding to have a nice playground for our children of the home, a volleyball field and more games and mostly in the end we would love to have a swimming pool for the hot season.

Administration:
The Home is run by Jericho Orphanage's Members including all Social care people who love help, the Church and of course the community. The board makes various rules and regulations for the proper management and administration of the Trust. 

Also we have the Bank accounts for the purposes of transparency

Jericho Orphanage Home was founded in 2009, but the idea of establishing a Children?s Home was mooted by Mr. Kabalo B. Mathias back in 2010, he was touched by the situation of the street children in Arusha town at that time, and she therefore wrote a proposal for feeding program from different NGO but he we dint get any feeding program. 

In 2010 Kabalo B. Mathias the director of jericho orphanage home and a coordinator of jericho orphanage home start to find organization partners to work with. 

Jericho Orphanage Home proceed with street children program the program was constantly moved by needs of the street children and wanted to be able to do more than merely feed these children. Some of the children approached them and told they would like to go to school, but now the big question they were asking where they could stay. 

Many of the children on the street did not have a home to go to at the end of the day, roaming around Arusha town he tried to find orphanages which could give the children shelter, but with no success. The dilemma he now faced was that of either giving up the orphans and let them return back to the street or making a home for them. They chose the latter.

Mathias had to leave the street children feeding-program because the sponsors were not ready for an orphanage. He felt, however, that he could trust God for His continued provisions and kept every child in her family. 

Her objective was to give these children a loving home, a family, education and a brighter future, she integrated them into her own family and that's how they live even today. The government guided her through the process of creating a full facility.

Most of the children come from unga limited street and Arumeru district, though other are from other districts throughout our country. The children are mostly abandoned, abused or orphaned, so the home offers the only real hope for some of Tanzania?s most damaged children. 

These children all have their own incredible stories of the hardships they have lived through as well as their own testimonies of how God spared them from a life of fear and uncertainty on the street. 

Jericho Orphanage Home is for them a unique residence which provides them with a warm, homely and accepting environment, and gives them help to come to terms with their difficult experiences.

The first home was a mud and wattle structure with cardboard partitions and mud floor, and now Were looking for the best house where they can stay and were finding sponsor to boasts of a basic kitchen, and the bedrooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. With the arrival of electricity, telephone, water and to make transport the daily living easier. But still every day is a struggle to make ends meet so that the children of Jericho Orphanage can get what they need.
