HE FOUGHT OFF 6 MACHETE ARMED MEN TO PROTECT 37 SLEEPING ORPHANS

24-year-old Anthony Omari confronted intruders to protect children at Kenyan orphanage

On a night in Ngong, Kenya, 24-year-old Anthony Omari was woken by a group of armed thieves inside his bedroom at Faraja Children’s Home. Omari ran the home with his mother, Martha Bosire, and 37 children were staying there at the time.

After experiencing three earlier break-ins that month, Omari had prepared. He grabbed a hammer he kept under his bed and forced the men outside. As he turned to calm the children who had gathered at the door, one attacker struck him in the face with a machete.

Despite the injury, Omari locked the front door before losing consciousness. He received 11 stitches for a cut from his forehead down his cheek, was discharged after two days, and returned to the orphanage quickly because he didn’t want to leave the children unprotected for long.

The story gained attention after a student posted about it on Reddit and asked for help. Within days, over 3,600 donors from all 50 U.S. states and 46 countries contributed more than $80,000. The funds were used for a new fence, security guards, beds for children who had been sleeping on the floor, and other essentials.

Omari later completed a degree in civil engineering, started his own construction company, and continues to visit the children at Faraja regularly.

Rais Mstaafu Dkt. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, ambaye pia ni Mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya Taasisi ya Kimataifa inayoshughulikia Masuala ya Elimu Duniani (Global Partnership for Education - GPE), ameendelea kuwa kinara katika kuhamasisha jitihada za upatikanaji wa fedha za kugharamia elimu kwa watoto wanaoishi katika mazingira magumu duniani.

Kwa nafasi yake ya Mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya GPE, Dkt. Kikwete ameongoza Mkutano muhimu wa Bodi hiyo uliofanyika Paris, Ufaransa tarehe 3–4 Juni 2026, ambao pamoja na mambo mengine umejadili mkakati wa GPE wa kukusanya Dola za Marekani Bilioni 15 ifikapo mwaka 2030 kupitia kampeni ijulikanayo kama GPE 2030.

Mkutano huo ulihudhuriwa pia na Bi. Éléonore Caroit, Waziri wa Nchi wa Ufaransa anayeshughulikia masuala ya Ubia wa Kimataifa na Maslahi ya Wafaransa waishio Ng’ambo.

Kupitia ubia na ushirikiano kati ya GPE, nchi wafadhili na mashirika ya kimataifa ya misaada, taasisi hiyo imelenga kuwafikia watoto takriban Milioni 270 ambao kwa sasa hawapo shuleni duniani kote kutokana na sababu mbalimbali. Aidha, fedha zinazokusanywa na GPE hutumika kuboresha elimu ya awali na msingi katika nchi za kipato cha chini na zinazoendelea, hususan kwa watoto wa kike na wale wanaoishi katika mazingira magumu kama vile maeneo yaliyoathiriwa na vita, ukame na mafuriko.

Kupitia Kampeni ya GPE 2030, jumla ya wanafunzi Milioni 750 kutoka nchi 96 duniani wanatarajiwa kunufaika kupitia uimarishaji wa mifumo ya elimu, upatikanaji wa vitabu vya kiada na ziada, ujenzi na ukarabati wa madarasa na maabara, pamoja na mafunzo ya kuwaongezea walimu ujuzi na uwezo wa kufundisha.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotolewa na GPE baada ya mkutano huo, nchi za Italia na Nigeria zitaongoza kampeni ya uchangishaji wa fedha hizo katika hafla maalumu itakayofanyika tarehe 23, Septemba 2026 pembezoni mwa Mkutano Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa (UNGA).

Balozi wa Tanzania nchini Ufaransa, Saidi Othman Yakubu (@saidiyakubu ), alihudhuria hafla iliyoandaliwa baada ya mkutano huo. Tanzania ni miongoni mwa nchi zinazonufaika na fedha zinazotolewa na GPE, ambapo hadi sasa imepokea zaidi ya Dola za Marekani Milioni 207.3 kwa ajili ya kuboresha sekta ya elimu nchini.

RUDN University inajulikana kimataifa kama Chuo Kikuu cha Urafiki wa Watu wa Urusi. Kilianzishwa kwa lengo la kusomesha wanafunzi kutoka nchi zinazoendelea duniani kote.

RAIS SAMIA SULUHU HASSAN AMEINGIAKWENYE ORODHA YA DHAHABU YA VIONGOZI MASHUHURI DUNIANI

Unapomwona Rais wetu, Dkt. Samia Suluhu Hassan, akivishwa joho la heshima ya juu kabisa ya kitaaluma nchini Urusi fahamu kuwa ameingia kwenye kitabu kimoja na viongozi wenye ushawishi mkubwa zaidi waliwahi kutikisa diplomasia ya dunia.

Chuo Kikuu cha Urafiki wa Watu wa Urusi (RUDN University) ambacho kihistoria kilibeba jina la shujaa wa Afrika Patrice Lumumba kina utaratibu madhubuti wa kutoa Shahada hii ya Heshima ya Uzamivu (Honorary Doctorate) kwa viongozi wachache tu walioacha alama zisizofutika kwenye jamii zao duniani.

Kabla ya Rais Samia kupokea heshima hii chuo hiki kikubwa kimeshawahi kuwatunuku viongozi mashuhuri wa kimataifa na waanzilishi wa mataifa.

Miongoni mwao ni Mahmoud Abbas, Rais wa sasa wa Mamlaka ya Ndani ya Palestina NA kiongozi anayeheshimika kwa msimamo wa kidiplomasia na Alpha Condé aliyekuwa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Guinea ambaye ni mmoja wa viongozi wa mfano barani Afrika waliwahi kuvikwa joho hili jijini Moscow.

Orodha hiyo inajumuisha pia Nursultan Nazarbayev Rais wa kwanza na muasisi wa Taifa la Kazakhstan, Rafael Correa Delgado aliyekuwa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Ecuador na mwanamapinduzi wa kiuchumi kule Amerika Kusini pamoja na viongozi waasisi na wapigania uhuru wa Afrika kama Sam Nujoma wa Namibia na Thabo Mbeki wa Afrika Kusini.

Hapa ndipo tunapoona uzito na upekee wa kipekee wa Rais wetu Dkt. Samia Suluhu Hassan.

Kupokea shahada ya Heshima ya Uzamivu (Honorary Doctorate Degree) kwenye huo hiko ina maana kwamba ulimwengu wa wasomi na mataifa makubwa yenye nguvu kama Urusi yametazama uongozi wake na kukiri kuwa yeye si kiongozi wa kawaida.

Amethibitisha kwa vitendo kuwa uongozi thabiti hauhitaji kelele bali unahitaji hekima, maono na utulivu wa ndani unaoweza kuvuta heshima ya dunia nzima bila kulazimisha.

Yeye anakuwa Mkuu wa Nchi wa kwanza mwanamke kutoka ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki na Kati kuingia kwenye jopo hili la dhahabu la viongozi wanaoheshimika na chuo hiki cha kihistoria.

Rais Samia ametuonyesha kwa vitendo kuwa mwanamke wa Kiafrika anaweza kusimama mbele ya mataifa makubwa akasikilizwa, akaheshimiwa na akaleta heshima kubwa nyumbani.

Huyu ni simba jike wa Afrika anayeandika historia mpya ya Tanzania kwa wino wa dhahabu ambao hautafutika kamwe. #SamiaKaziniUrusi TanzaniaInaSongaMbele
