Today, staff at the TCRC care for over 70 boys between the ages of 10 and 21 After spending time in the streets of Mwanza, Tanzania’s second-largest city, Micah Ngusa couldn’t ignore the many street kids surviving as pick-pockets and prostitutes.

“I asked myself,” he remembers, “if God is love, why are these kids suffering?”

In 1999 Micah and his wife started a ministry for boys. With help from churches around the world he was able to buy a plot in Tanzania's rocky countryside. He christened this refuge the Tanzanian Children’s Rescue Centre (TCRC). “I asked myself,” Micah remembers, “if God is love, why are these kids suffering?”

Today the TCRC has a dorm, a government-accredited primary school, and woodworking shop where Micah’s staff care for over 100 boys between the ages of 10 and 21.

The primary school attracts an additional 250 students who can afford school fees, easing the Centre's dependence on outside support.
