Karibuni
In November 2023, we visited Tanzania to explore the country and connect with an orphanage
of beautiful blind children up in the mountains of Lushoto Tanzania. It was more than
just a road trip of over 8 hours from Dares Salaam.
We traveled with friends and family with supplies for the school. It was a very
therapeutic feeling of joy that re-energized our dormant side after losing our 6yr old son Ozem
Sifuni in 2022. This trip to Lushoto was for his memorial.
The joy on the children’s faces brought mixed emotions for us, to know that we could help other
kids in Ozem’s name. Their compassionate faces motivated us to keep helping them.
Giving is healing to the heart.
We wanted to revisit that joy more often, rather than continuously mourn the passing of our son.
You cannot wrap your mind around losing a son that was so joyful and bright. He was a gift to
us, and we embraced him for the short time he was here.
Three years prior, we thought of a clothing line and came up with many names that did not resonate. After visiting Loshoto, we decided to move forward with a vision that matters in our son’s name, simply by positively impacting the lives of kids in need in the most forgotten places.
The name Sifuni means praise God in Swahili and is our son’s middle name. We
created this brand that makes you feel uplifted and bright to radiate the joy of life while allowing
us the opportunity to give back to other kids in memory of Ozem Sifuni.
This is our therapeutic project: Sifuni offers value in clothing while returning some of the proceeds to the little ones. When you order a Sifuni outfit, you are making yourself stand out in the crowd in a great way by Helping the kids in need. Sifuni’s legacy will continue to uplift other kids.
You may be wondering why we decided to share our story. Making an impact in someone else life goes with the laws of what goes around, comes around. The ability to live in harmony must be cherished in every moment, in part doing what you love matters.
We hesitantly share our story for you to feel inspired to enjoy the moments with the people you love. We look forward to helping you radiate in a Sifuni outfit.
