You can change the world
Guess who is building a homeless shelter for women and children in Tanzania-Africa--this guy. Thanks to some donations by a few people and contributions of my own YellowBlueBus.inc will be funding the construction of a modest shelter/housing for the homeless mainly single women and single women with children. Construction starts now as well as the application process as there are many in need but we will only be able to house about 25 individuals to start. We will offer them shelter, 2 meals a day, medical services, education and training as well as personal counseling. Many of these women are widows due to their husband dying from AIDS and they themselves affected with HIV with little to no options for them and their children. Also note that many of these women have had to turn to prostitution in order to have means for food and a home for themselves and their children. The ripple affect of these circumstances goes beyond the imagination but with this shelter our hope is to lift these women up and give them the strength and the power to overcome their past and build themselves a new future and give the the tools needed to sustain their own lives only months after coming through our doors. This will only be the beginning stages of this project, our hopes is to build a men's unit and expand from there to enable the support for many in order to save and change lives and most importantly give them our LOVE.
