Mama Wandoa has organized the 7,000 bedkits to the Tanzanian children each year for the past eleven years. During the year prior to the August distribution, she co-ordinates with the Ministry of Education to select the children who will receive these bedkits. Mama works closely with the mattress factory owners who make the 7,000 mattresses and also stores them for her until the distribution starts. The remainder of the bedkits are stored actually in her home!!!
Each day, Mama works behind the scenes checking off names of the recipients from the master list. She is the problem solver for each distribution day, speaking to moms and officials.

During these eleven days of distributions, she arrives at the selected site at 4 a.m. to supervise the unloading of the truck, and to act as a security guard until others arrive.
Mama Wandoa is a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who is loved by her family and the community she serves.
