Neema House

Neema House, a 501(c)3 organization in the USA and an NGO in Tanzania, operates in the city of  Arusha, Tanzania, and is a rescue center for orphaned, abandoned and at-risk babies.  It is currently operating at over capacity with forty-six babies receiving in-house care, as of January 16, 2016.  The number of babies needing help far exceeds the current facilities and resources of Neema House.  Babies come to Neema when hospitals and police stations call asking for help with babies who have been abandoned or orphaned.  Babies have been left on the roadside, on porches, in yards, left alone in houses and even in latrines.  At Neema House they have all found love and care.
