Sama Tata
Foundation
Humanitarian Aid Project
Since our earliest days, we have collected simple items we refer to as "humanitarian aid goods". We collect items much needed by beggar and slave children such as soap, tooth brushes, tooth paste, clothing, book, shoes and toys either through planned events or private donations. These items are then distributed to Talibes children in Senegal, and to schools who have requested donations from us. In the future, we hope to expand this project to our work in the US, Greece, Bangladesh and the rest of Senegal.

.Sama Tata Foundation of Collier County
As part of our efforts to assist victims of child begging and child slavery in the US, we are currently in the very early working stages of opening our first regional office in Naples, Collier County, FL USA. The goal of this office will be to assist victims of child begging and child slavery in the Southwest Florida area, as well as impoverished families in the area. Right now we are researching and recruiting volunteers to help us get this office started up. Sama Tata Foundation of Collier County

Sama Tata Foundation Senegal
The purpose of this project is to assist victims of child begging, child slavery and Female Genital Mutilation in Senegal. Thus far, our group of volunteers have been working to assist the Talibes, a name commonly given to children who attend Koranic schools who become victims of begging. So far we have helped them through our humanitarian aid program and partnership with a hospital and some schools but in the future we wish to expand our work to include a safe house/school, medical clinic, advance our volunteer program and our political advocacy effect at the local, domestic and international level to make sure that the rights of the Talibes and other beggar children in Senegal are represented.

Sama Tata Foundation Greece
This is a brand new project that is currently in the development and beginning fundraising stages; we have a group of volunteers in Athens, Greece who have offered to open a Sama Tata Foundation headquarters there to assist victims of child begging, child slave labor, gender discrimination, disabled children and women, children and families affected by the 2008 Economic Depression in Greece.
Sama Tata Foundation USA
The goal of this project is to assist victims of child begging, children human trafficking victims, FGM suffers as well as preventative tactics such as working alongside destitute families, children, fostered children and related institutions to help prevent child begging and child slavery from continuing to happen in the US. This is a brand new venture we are currently working on, so we have yet to see where it goes!

Sama Tata Foundation Bangladesh
This is another country headquarters that is currently in its embryionic stages. Unfortunately because of funding issues this project has been postponed, however once our fundraising programs have been perfected this office will serve victims of child begging, child slavery, and children, families and women affected by severe poverty issues in the area. We are currently seeking volunteers and funds to make this program a reality in addition to the research we are doing to create a stragetic plan for our work there.
