(Every day, every hour, a tree benefits me.)
A tree plays a vital role in our lives, from the air we breathe to the furniture we use and the food we eat. Trees are fundamental to life. Our initiation “Kila siku, kila saa, mti wanifaa” that translates to “Every day, every hour, a tree benefits me.” is an educational campaign aiming to raise and nurture the young generation to environmentally conscious and responsible.

Home for the Elderly
Grace was raised by her grandmother until the age of 12. During challenging times, her retired mother also played a similar role in helping Grace raise her two daughters.
HemaHomes was born from a commitment and desire to repay such kindness to the elderly. In many parts of Tanzania, elderly individuals often find themselves waiting out their final days as their physical strength fades.
HemaHomes’ mission is to provide a loving, caring environment where elderly residents can still contribute and receive love, even without physical strength. This mission aims to give them a sense of purpose and hope for a meaningful tomorrow, regardless of their age or condition.
