Upendo Daima is completely dependent on donors. In Tanzania we mainly receive donations in the form of goods. For example, bales of rice from local farmers, gasoline, soap, and t-shirts from local entrepreneurs.
Financial sponsorship comes mainly from the Netherlands. We have sponsors who have been supporting us – often for many years – on a personal basis with monthly or annual donations. In addition, there are various charitable funds that help us offer the children a future. In recent years, Upendo Daima has received contributions from the Mennonite Orphanage Foundation, the Hofstee Foundation, the W.M. de Hoop Foundation, the Ineke Feitz Foundation, the Father Eusebius Kemp Foundation and the Dymphna Foundation, among others.
De Boekenlegger
Since 2004, volunteers in Tiel have set up a second-hand book store, De Boekenlegger. All proceeds from this shop go to Upendo Daima. Since its foundation, they have already been able to donate 300,000 euros to Upendo Daima. Quite an achievement! Read the article about the 20 year aniversary of de Boekenlegger here.
