Our ski sloping, thrill seeking, falling off the side of a mountain, broken ankle treasurer, Sarah Lockett has some important information about your donation and tax receipts, I know you will not want to miss.
(Is she going to be mad I posted this picture!! Oh Yeah!)
A note from the Treasurer-
First of all, Let me thank you on behalf of the board of directors for your love and support of the work done at Neema Village! We are happy to report that again in 2024, USA Administrative Expenses are less than 5% of all expenses.
(Below is Kathy Strong, one of the Neema board of Directors with Donna and two of our current 67 babies wearing hats knitted by women from Nacogdoches, Texas. All fourteen of our board members have been to Neema Village and have seen the work first hand.)

2024 donation receipts have now been sent via US Postal Service or email! However, there were several emails returned as “undeliverable” so please contact the Neema Village Finance email at neemavillageinc@neemavillage.
Did you know that there are ways to double your donation through participating company matching funds? Neema Village has received matching funds from Boeing, Chevron, GlaxoSmithKline, Halliburton, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Phillips 66, and Shell Oil. Neema Village is registered through Cyber Grants, Thrivent Choice, Celenese Foundation, Frontstream, NPO Connect, Network for Good, Fidelity Charitable, Bright Funds, Benevity Giving Fund, and First Giving through which companies send matching funds.
Neema Village is also registered with PayPal Giving Fund who process donations from FaceBook and GoFundMe fundraising set up with Neema Village as the charity to receive these funds. PayPal Giving Fund is the nonprofit that sends the donation tax receipt to those donors via email at the time of the donation so please save that for your personal records!
Occasionally, non-USA donors do have difficulty using the website donate button. You may send funds via regular PayPal but please cc the USA financial team when the volunteer coordinator or Neema directors are emailed in Tanzania.
You may also donate securities in the form of stock to Neema Village. If you would like information regarding this or other Qualified Charitable Distributions, please contact me at the financial email. Your financial advisor will need account detail for how to make these gifts to Neema.
The finance team is located in the USA and the directors of Neema Village are extremely busy overseeing the day-to-day activities at Neema Village in Tanzania. Between a 9-hour time difference and the logistics of a ministry that spans 2 continents, it would be most helpful to include the Neema Finance email when making pledge donations or any other donations that would need to be recorded a specific way in the financial records.
Thank You,
Sarah Lockett, Treasurer

We love our volunteers who come to hold the babies. This group of teenagers were from Trinity Christian School in Lubbock, Texas.
From all of us at Neema Village,
Thank You!!
