Rescuing and Providing a Home for Orphaned, Abandoned and Trafficked Children

Arusha, Tanzania Africa

One of the most amazing success stories we have ever experienced in the history of Samaritan Village Orphanage is what has happened to a little girl we named Pendo. Pendo had been abandoned. She had one broken leg and was horribly malnourished. She was weak and barely able to move. Social welfare traveled ten hours across Tanzania trying to find an orphanage to take her . No children's home would accept her because they knew she was going to die. Finally, she arrived at Samaritan Village where Josephat, our director gladly agreed to take her in.

 

We weren't sure if she would survive. The first thing Josephat did after he took her in was to send out a call for prayer on her behalf.

God answered those prayers and Pendo quickly began to grow stronger and healthier.

Today, Pendo has completely recovered. She recently started nursery school along with two other children her age, Then, she got the greatest news of all when she was adopted by a family in Tanzania.​

​

Here are pictures that show her remarkable recovery.
