Brick Security Wall:
Friends of Musoma funded the construction of a brick wall with a gate at St. Justin's Center. In the one year period between 2014-2015, three intellectually-disabled children wandered away from the Center. It took two weeks to locate and safely bring back one of these children.
Hand-made bricks were used to make this wall. The bricks had to be watered twice a day by hand using water carried to the site by volunteers.

More recently Friends of Musoma covered the cost of installation of wrought iron windows at the Home to further the safety of the students.
Solar-Powered D-Lights:
In the winter of 2014 Gina Schneider and Father Choka delivered solar-powered D-lights to students in two remote, rural village schools of Tanzania to help them study at night.
In the fall of 2018, 100 solar D-lights were purchased for students at a secondary girls' school in Musoma where a new dormitory had been destroyed by fire.
Donation of Laptops:
Several laptops were donated to the formation school at Baraki where young women are studying to possibly become nuns.
In 2021 funds will be donated to Milenia Ya Tatu School in Masonga to replace at least 10 desktop computers that were ruined in an electrical storm the previous year.
