Annual Report 2025
A year of achievementsand challenges
Dear friends and supporters,
With the same passion and energy that has driven us for twenty-one years now, we are thrilled to share with you the latest edition of our 2025 Social Report. This chapter chronicles an incredibly intense year—one that, in many ways, felt like it was worth twice as much as a normal year, given everything we managed to achieve together in Tanzania, Italy, and Germany.
2025 was the year of major structural efforts in Arusha. We completed three important investments that have finally given our center its definitive layout:
Doubling the agricultural area: We expanded and doubled the surface area dedicated to fruit and vegetable cultivation to increase our self-produced food supply.
The new chicken coop: We completed a building over 22 meters long, a fundamental step toward launching our laying hen farm and boosting self-funding.
Securing the premises: After 21 years, we entirely rebuilt the external fencing around the area dedicated to maize cultivation.
These initiatives are allowing us to move forward in a clear direction—one that is also supported by local authorities: making Malaika increasingly self-sufficient and partially independent from donations.
Malaika: 2025 in 10 numbers
Impact: How We Use Every Euro
Your generosity is vital to our mission, and we believe in full transparency regarding how contributions are used. Every single euro donated is managed with the utmost responsibility to ensure concrete answers to the needs we address.
Here is the breakdown of how funds were invested:
Home Management (60%): The largest share of donations goes directly toward the daily management and operation of our home, ensuring a safe, welcoming, and stable environment.
Education (24%): Nearly a quarter of our resources directly supports educational paths, learning materials, and development services dedicated to our beneficiaries.
Marketing & Fundraising (10%): We invest 10% in marketing and fundraising activities. This is a strategic and necessary share to raise awareness of our mission, engage new supporters, and ensure the long-term financial sustainability of our projects.
Administrative Expenses (6%): We keep internal management costs to a minimum (just 6 cents for every euro raised), ensuring that the vast majority of your support goes directly to the heart of our services.
