it all began. When missionary Angelika Wohlenberg-Kinsey first came to Malambo in the late 1980s, health care and missionary work took place in the shade of the acacia tree. Today, we still use the tree as a workplace, community center, hospital and school.
And in case you've already seen it - our logo also features the acacia tree.
The German association "Hilfe für die Massai e.V." has been supporting the work of the NGO "Help for the massai" (HftM) in Tanzania since 1997.
"I came with God. And I knew it would be difficult, but I also knew that God was behind me, beside me and in front of me, and that was very helpful.“
Angelika Wohlenberg-Kinsey
Gründerin von Hilfe für die Massai
Mittlerweile ist das Projekt nicht nur in seiner Größe, sondern auch in der Anzahl der Mitarbeitenden gewachsen. Wir freuen uns sehr über die vielen Core Leaders, die uns helfen die Arbeit langfristig in Tansania zu machen.
Get to know us:
Sion is a nurse with all her heart. Always there to help the sick and those in need.
Paulo is a native of Malambo and helped set up the Naserian Secondary School. Now he manages the various projects to help the Maasai in Malambo.
Agness is very committed to the children and employees in the project.
Our sister and founder of HftM. After 10 years in a tent in the Tanzanian bush, she is the best crisis manager under the Tanzanian sun.
Joel has been with us for a long time - as a teacher and now as headmaster of the secondary school. He is also trying to do farming in Malambo with a green thumb.
As one of the first civilians, Dirk returned in 2011 as technical manager. He loves Jesus, his wife and daughter and Toyota.
Benjamin is active and helpful at school and also in the village. It is easy for him not to lose sight of the individual person at various moments.
Sarah brings structure and vision to the project. She works sensitively in a wide variety of areas and, as an accountant, probably has the best overview of all sub-projects.
Helpful, loyal and reliable, Prosper is an important support in Malambo. He's not only an accountant, but also always up for a chat.
He has been a faithful prayer and companion of the project for many years. Lukas is now the project manager of our compound in Tengeru, Arusha.
Belinda has been faithfully taking care of finances for many years and is a good and honest advisor.
Aruni himself received his training through HftM as a boy and has been working since 2019 to make this possible for others.
Elisabeth unsere gute Seele- etliche Jahre Compound Managerin in Malambo und übernimmt nun die Patenschaftsbetreuung aus Deutschland.
As a social worker, Emmanuel visits our external students in Tanzania and supports them in difficult situations.
As a young Masai boy, Raphael has been supported by Angelika in his schooling since 1999. He has been employed as a teacher and later headmaster since 2013 and has been running the new vocational school in Tengeru since 2021.
Ndeshi (aka Mama Peace) met Sister Angelika when she was 16 and has been working with her ever since. She founded the kindergarten in Malambo and now works as the manager of the orphanage.
The organization in Germany: Thousands of kilometers away, the work of the founder gave rise to an association "Hilfe für die Massai e.V." (Help for the Massai), which continues to support the work financially to this day. Wir sind eine bunte Mischung an Freunden der Arbeit aus ganz Deutschland mit verschiedenen Hintergründen und Expertisen und versuchen diese bestmöglichst in das Projekt einfließen zu lassen. Eine Gruppe motivierter ehemaliger Volontäre bildet das Ehemaligennetzwerk „Rafiki wa massai“ und unterstützt den Verein bei Projekten in Deutschland.
If you are interested in the association or the volunteer work, we look forward to receiving your e-mail!
