Diana’s family: Tanzanians in need

Donation protected
Hello all, I am hoping to raise some money for a Tanzanian family I know personally. I spent some time volunteering at a baby orphanage in a tiny rural village called Bwiru in Tanzania. During my time there I met a beautiful and genuine girl called Diana. Diana was my age and we immediately connected and formed a special friendship. She had me to her home. A small simple one roomed hut. A bed she shared with her sister and a mosquito net. No running water and a concrete floor. We have since kept in touch. She now has 4 beautiful children. Sweetbertha, margret, David and Susan (pictured). They range from 2 to 9 years old. Diana has never asked me for money. She is kind and humble but her life has proved even more difficult and she is struggling to provide food for her family. For a living, she has a few chickens and sells their eggs. She sells some sweet potatoes and some days she brings water to some construction sites for the workers. Her husband works at the port carrying small fish from the docks. Times are tough. They have no savings and struggle to support their family. They cant afford proper education for their children and have no money for appropriate healthcare.  Her dream is to become a cook and start her own business selling food from the side of the road, but this requires financial backing. Her other dream is to send her eldest child, sweetbertha, to a private school. The only real type of education that provides any clear opportunity to break the cycle for this family. Diana is very kind and business savvy. She has taught herself English and I know she will use the money in a way that will be life changing. I am not one to ask for money, but I truly believe that this will benefit her and her children into the future. Every cent will go directly to support Diana’s family. With Tanzanians in poverty they make <$1 a day. If you can do without your morning coffee this morning and put that money toward this cause I’d be forever grateful. If not monetary, I’d appreciate if you could send this to your friends or send a little hope across the sea to Diana and her family. Thank you in advance for your kindness. It truly is everything
