<div>Hi! We’re Eduardo and Noelle Cedeno, and this winter we will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, to raise funds and awareness for a place close to our hearts: Neema Village, located in Arusha, Tanzania.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Neema Village is a Christ-centered rescue center for abandoned, orphaned, and at-risk babies. Neema provides love, shelter, nourishment, and medical care to the most vulnerable children. But Neema’s mission doesn’t stop there. It lifts up entire families and transforms communities through a wide range of powerful programs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s just a glimpse into the work Neema Village is doing:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠MAP (Mothers Against Poverty): Offers single mothers and women in crisis safe housing, business training, mentorship, and startup support to help them achieve economic independence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Rehabilitative Daycare: Neema offers a daytime program for children with disabilities, where they receive therapy and nurturing care. This gives mothers a safe, supportive place for their children while they go to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Save the Mothers Program: A life-saving birthing seminar that trains women in safe delivery practices. In regions where maternal mortality is heartbreakingly high, this program is literally saving lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Girls Informed for Tomorrow (GIFT): An empowerment initiative that provides teenage girls with education on reproductive health, gender-based violence, self-worth, and future planning—equipping the next generation of women to thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Soccer Outreach Program: Using the universal language of sport, Neema unites the local community through weekly soccer clinics, fostering community, discipline, and respect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Climbing:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise $25,000—funds that will go <strong>directly to Neema Village </strong>to support these transformational programs. Every dollar you give helps provide:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Infant formula, diapers, and medical care
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Business grants and housing for single mothers
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Physical and Occupational Therapy for children with special needs
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Training and resources for safe childbirth
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Empowerment seminars for girls
</div>
<div>•⁠ ⁠Mentorship through sports
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>100% of your donation will go straight to Neema</strong>
