How to Help

Sponsor a Baby.

It cost an average of $300 per month to keep a baby at Neema Village, but partial sponsorships of $30, $100 or other amounts are gratefully welcomed too.  We are often asked why so much?  Babies are expensive!  Formula is expensive even in Africa!  We are not a “dirt floor” orphanage, we have babies who are premature and need sterile environments or babies who have special needs and all Neema babies have lost their mothers and need extra loving care.  Neema babies are well fed, happy, loved and in a clean and nurturing environment.

Our Bookkeeper and Auditor have recommended that we cut our categories down to four main groups:

Pease designate one of these four funds that support all work at Neema Village when donating.

  1.  General Purpose Funds- Includes sponsorships for babies and funds necessary for operations.
  2. Outreach Funds- Includes MAP, STM food, medical, water well drilling, education and other outreach projects such as food deliveries.
  3. Property Development – Includes building projects, (please include the name of the building)  roads and land purchases.
  4. Volunteer Expenses – Funds paid exclusively by volunteers for their own expense at Neema.

The Board reserves the right to allocate funds to support the work done at Neema Village.

  • Here are some more helpful steps to give on the Tithely donate page:
    To designate fund selection- please use the dropdown list to ensure bookkeeping accuracy. If no selection, your donation automatically goes into the General Fund.
    It is important to use the tab button if using a computer. If using your phone, you are able to scroll down as usual.
    * fill in your contact information including name, email, phone, mailing address
    * choose a payment method
    * click cover the fees (yes or no) If you select yes, the fees are included in your donation receipt
    * On the memo line type in any other information you would like.
    Then feel incredibly Blessed to be able to help these precious babies and moms at Neema Village!

Keeping up with Your Sponsored Baby.

Neema Village is has had over 400 babies who have come through our program and average between 50 to 60 babies each month living at Neema. Each baby has an album on Neema Village Facebook and we do post an update 3 times a year on their album. It always has cute updated pictures which you can “save as” and put up on your fridge and a short paragraph of what is happening in your baby’s life. Many people do not have Facebook but Neema Village is a public site so you don’t have to join Facebook, you can just follow us and watch for your baby update. That would be a great help to us and I think you would enjoy following the many ways God is working at Neema Village. Bless you dear Sponsors!

Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
