The African Initiative is a partnership between Hosanna Lutheran Church and the Anglican Church of Tanzania-Kagera region in Africa to help orphans in extreme poverty attend high school.

Hosanna sponsors two programs in Ngara, Tanzania under an umbrella
organization known as the African Initiative.To aid us in matching your

WomenCraft

WomenCraft is a community driven social enterprise that connects talented
rural East African women with fair-trade markets.This program has allowed
families to buy such basic needs as kerosene, soap and sugar.Also many
families are saving their income so that they can buy and raise farm
animals such as chickens, goats, pigs and cows — or turn their grass huts
into houses.

If you would like to contribute to this effort, make checks payable to
Hosanna Lutheran Church with the gift designated as "WomenCraft."
Gifts will be used to benefit the program as determined by its leadership team. You may also designate how your gift will be used. For example, "WomenCraft Production Center."
