Conclusion

"Many things we need can wait, the child cannot. Now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, his mind is being developed. To him we cannot say tomorrow. His name is today."

- Gabriela Mistral, Nobel Prize-winningg Chilean poet.

                       

The care of children with an, as yet, incurable disease may not seem an economically profitable enterprise but economics cannot surpass a humanitarian endeavor. With the ever increasing number of HIV/AIDS infected and affected children, we expect the project to engage the larger community in caring for these voiceless and vulnerable children.

It is intended that Godfrey's Children will make a positive contribution to identifying and caring for such children in Tanzania. The project will not work in isolation, as caring for a child cannot be done alone. This is why the project is called Godfrey's Children- in honour of a man who touched many lived through his compassion towards children.

It is a belief that this project will serve as a pilot project to be replicated within Tanzania and throughout the African continent. It is expected that Godfrey's Children will become a beacon of hope to children who desperately need one.
