To provide opportunities for quality education, health services, counseling, and socioeconomic empowerment with a special emphasis on marginalized communities to eliminate discrimination and create sustainable communities.
A healthy, educated, economically and socially developed Tanzanian community.
Commitment, volunteerism, cooperation, integrity, transparency, honesty, accountability, and respect.
Our main focus is providing basic needs for children- water, food, clothes, home, and education. See how we do it:
To build and manage profitable Income income-generating activities (IGAs) and achieve gender equality in the community, we seek to empower communities, specifically women, elders, and young people, in social, economic, and political spheres. This lowers the community's reliance on IOP and leads to the development of self-sufficient economies. We seek to empower communities, specifically women, elders, and young people, in social, economic, and political spheres.
Our health initiatives aim to enhance care for the most vulnerable children, women, elders, and youths through gender mainstreaming, purpose-sharing forums, HIV/AIDS Counseling and Testing (HCT), foster parenting, and other means. Additionally, they aim to improve communication and involvement of health actors/sectors in all health-related programs.

The IOP's organizational capacity and human resources are key factors in the success of our activities. As a result, we must pay great attention to both the staff's welfare and the quality of our services.
By offering education services to the communities we serve, we strengthen our social relationships. It comprises with growth and development of advocacy, sports, education, playing games, and cultural infrastructure
In 1998, the idea for the Ilula Orphan Project was developed in correspondence and conversations between Norwegian-American founder Berit Skaare and her long-time Tanzanian Girl Guide friend, Joyce Msolla. Eventually, IOP was established in 1998 and was legally registered in 2003 by the Registrar of Societies in Tanzania’s Ministry of Home Affairs with the registration number SO. NO. 12054. On 15th August 2019, the organization was re-registered with the NGO Registrar under the registration number 00NGO/R2/000374.
IOP’s primary objective is to give opportunities for excellent education, counseling, and socio-economic development to underrepresented populations in order to remove discrimination and create sustainable communities.

We believe in the power of education to improve lives and communities at the Ilula Orphan Program. That is why we are happy to own and operate a number of educational institutions in Tanzania that offer high-quality learning opportunities to students.
Your generous donation to our general budget enables us to deliver high-quality education, health services, empowerment programs, and long-term community development. Your contribution, no matter how small, significantly impacts the lives of vulnerable Tanzanian children, women, and elders.
To provide a better environment for the children and improve their learning experiences, we urgently need donations to support the construction and expansion of our orphanage and schools. With increased capacity, we can accommodate more children in need of care and education.
Access to nutritious food is essential to the health and well-being of the children in our care. Our goal is to provide three healthy, balanced meals a day for every child, but we rely on donations to meet this need. Most of the children come from backgrounds of food insecurity, so having regular access to proper meals is a necessity.
The expansion and improvement of our schools are vital to ensuring that every child receives a quality education in a safe and stimulating environment. We are seeking donations to build more classrooms, enhance educational materials, and provide modern teaching tools.
To sustain and grow our orphanage and educational programs, we need to build a reliable investment fund. This fund will allow us to generate steady revenue through income-generating initiatives, such as partnerships with local businesses, grants, or investments in community-based projects.
Education is the cornerstone of a brighter future for every child, but many of the children we care for lack the financial resources to attend school. Through our education sponsorship program, we aim to provide the necessary funding for school fees, uniforms, books, and other essential supplies.
