Christopher Justice Fortson

This baby was found on the road and was covered with black dirt. It is sad to think what would make a mother or father do this. We are thankful to be there for Christopher and the other 33 babies living at Neema Baby Home in Aruha, Tanzania. Caring for babies is very expensive, our formula bill is around $1,500 per month. We have hired 32 full time Tanzanian staff workers to care for the babies 24 hours a day seven days a week. Only Tanzanian workers receive a salary from Neema House donations. You can help by sponsoring one of the Neema babies.


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.
