Rift Valley Childrens Village

The Rift Valley Children’s Village (RVCV or the Children’s Village) currently provides a permanent and loving home for 90 orphaned and at-risk children. Nestled among rolling coffee plantations in the Karatu region of Northern Tanzania, the Children’s Village is an oasis of laughter and joy. The Children’s Village staff works with local village leaders to identify the children in the surrounding community most in need of the safe haven RVCV can provide. From the moment they step through the gates, these children are no longer orphans – they become permanent members of the RVCV family. We prepare them to become informed, resourceful, and responsible citizens in their community and throughout Tanzania.
