Dear Community!
My husband Dennis and I have been living in Koa/Nasab for over a year and really appreciate the community here. Therefore, we turn to you today with an important, personal request.
Years ago, our friend Michael Kloep and his wife Eilene founded the non-profit organization D.R.O.P.S. - Direct Relief Of Poverty and Sickness, which is dedicated to supporting people in need, especially children and the elderly. D.R.O.P.S. works in different parts of the world to provide sustainable better medical care, education and general hygiene. During the last two years of the pandemic, when on-site missions were not possible, the association has, despite everything, provided a lot of help over distance and supported where it was possible.
Now, however, the time has finally come again for the suitcases to be packed with plenty of materials and for a team of volunteers to accompany the D.R.O.P.S. Core Team. From October 24-26 we are going to Tanzania, to the region of Dar es Salaam and Msata.
Dennis and I will also be there, actively supporting our friends on this mission. We will visit over 1000 people in need, of which more than 80% are children in poor conditions, with no toys or basic hygiene necessities and in need of so much love and care. Medical treatment in these communities is a luxury, so we intend to bring this to them with the help of our volunteer doctor and local support.
We will go to schools and orphanages, provide medical assistance thanks to the doctors who will accompany us, and provide all the people who can visit us with various materials but also educational opportunities. For the first time we will also specifically discuss and teach feminine hygiene.
The anticipation is great on both sides and we hope to achieve as much as possible in this short time. And exactly for this we need help.
We ask you, if it is possible for you, to make a small contribution and support us with a donation. No matter how small or big the contribution is, we believe that many small drops together can make a big difference and create a wave of humanity. What seems trivial to us can be life-changing and significant to the children and people of Tanzania.
All information and the possibility to donate can be found atwww.dropsfound.orgor of course you can contact me.
By the way: Every D.R.O.P.S. mission is completely self-financed by the participants. That means the entire amount of each donation goes 100% to the mission itself and benefits the needy children and people. No administrative or organizational costs are paid from it, because we want to pass on 100%.
We are aware that there are countless associations and needy people, but this project is very close to our hearts, not least because of our friendly connection and our own commitment.
Thank you in advance for your attention and support.
Kind regards,
Ariane and Dennis
