Our Dinner Clubs address the mind, heart, soul and strength of the littlest ones of the Rufiji River Villages. Growing up along the wild river, fatherless homes are too often the norm. We want to introduce the children of the Rufiji to a Father who will never leave them, never forsake them.
The Opportunity is to Adopt a Village where EastARM will establish a Dinner Club for the children and families of that village. Your Investment will lay the foundations, literally and figuratively, of an outpost where we can extend this love and help given from afar.
*all donated and village project designated funds are triple scrutinized by East Africa River Mission, at a staff level, board of advisors, and by the charitable operator to ensure accountability. For more information, email projects@eastarm.net
