The
target charity for the year 2009 was Hiari Orphanage Center
in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The centre is run by a local
non-governmental organisation. Hiari currently provides a home for 78
children between the ages of one and eighteen. Many of them have
been orphaned by AIDS.
Help with Hygiene And Housing
The Queen of Hearts 2009
Mirfat Awadh Abdulrahim established a campaign to raise funds
for the orphanage in her former home town. The objective was to help the orphanage develop their operations and
the conditions of the children living there.
Making a Difference
The Queen of Hearts Development
Initiative raised money to provide the centre with beds and
mosquito nets. The nets can save lives because malaria is a common cause of death in Tanzania.
In July 2010, Mirfat travelled to Tanzania to make a donation on beds, mattresses, bed sheets and mosquito nets purchased with the money raised in her campaing.
