Born from lived experience. Built for community.Imezaliwa kutokana na uzoefu halisi. Imejengwa kwa ajili ya jamii.
Clara Mushi Foundation exists so that no child in Tanzania faces illness, orphanhood or isolation without care, education and hope.Clara Mushi Foundation ipo ili kuhakikisha hakuna mtoto Tanzania anayekabili ugonjwa, uyatima au upweke bila huduma, elimu na matumaini.
We are a newly registered organisation. Before our programmes begin, we are putting the right foundations in place: a strong Board of Trustees, clear policies, safeguarding, and training for every trustee, staff member and volunteer.Sisi ni shirika lililosajiliwa hivi karibuni. Kabla programu zetu hazijaanza, tunaweka misingi imara: Bodi ya Wadhamini, sera zilizo wazi, ulinzi wa mtoto, na mafunzo kwa kila mdhamini, mfanyakazi na mjitolea.
Clara Cletus Mushi
Clara was born with HIV in Arusha and is the only surviving member of her family. For years she has given her own time to children in orphanages and to families in need. In 2026 she led the Foundation to full registration as an NGO, turning her story into a lasting organisation.Clara alizaliwa na VVU mjini Arusha na ndiye pekee aliyebaki hai katika familia yake. Kwa miaka mingi ametoa muda wake kwa watoto katika vituo vya kulelea yatima na kwa familia zenye uhitaji. Mwaka 2026 aliiongoza Taasisi kupata usajili kamili kama NGO, akigeuza simulizi yake kuwa taasisi ya kudumu.
