About Loving Hearts Caring Hands (LHCH)
Loving Hearts Caring Hands (LHCH) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Lindi Municipality, Southern Tanzania, along the Indian Ocean. The municipality, home to over 178,000 people, relies heavily on fishing, sesame cultivation, and cashew farming as its primary economic activities. Lindi, along with its neighboring region Mtwara, is among the five poorest regions in Tanzania, alongside Mara, Kagera, and Shinyanga.
These regions face significant challenges, with many children lacking essential resources such as adequate nutrition, healthcare, and education, despite Tanzania’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. Loving Hearts Caring Hands was founded in 2013 by Amos and Carina Makajula to take urgent action against child poverty and to secure a brighter future for the most vulnerable children (MVCs) in Lindi Municipality.
