Build an Children's Center in Tanzania: $250,000
The current home of Matumaini Children's Center in Tanzania is a small, three-roomed house, home to 20 children.  There is little space inside for the children to play or study, and only a small room that serves as both an office and a storage area.  Knock has purchased an acre of land for which we are designing a new orphanage and community center.  The new center will provide more space for living, classrooms, dining hall, an office, and the ability to increase the number of orphaned children living there.  The classrooms will not only be used for the residents, but will allow Knock and Matumaini to hold classes and seminars for the community ranging from vocational training to family planning and reproductive health to alcoholism, all extremely important topics to address in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania.  This is a huge undertaking but Knock believes strongly in its purpose.
