Every four months, bulk food, and other supplies, are bought in Mwanza city and sent by lorry to the Children’s Centre at Mayega. A seventy mile journey east along the southern shores of Lake Victoria. The road is tarred, as it leads to the Serengeti and the Kenyan border, but is sometimes in poor condition.

Our Mwanza wholesaler, Mama Luce, would lose out on some trade but it’s a very busy shop. She is kind to the Mayega children, invariably sending gifts of sodas and sweets. We are also very good customers!
