What we do
We are a dedicated UK charity run by passionate volunteers that empower children, especially girls, in rural Tanzania to access quality education to break the cycle of poverty.
We partner with very rural communities in Arusha, Tanzania where there is often no electricity, no clean drinking water, no public transport and most households are living in extreme poverty.
How we support schools
We support schools by focusing on four essential programme areas:
Let Us Learn: Learning environment
Classrooms & teaching resources are essential for any school. In Tanzania the recommended classroom size is 45 students, but many schools have classes of 100-140 students with not enough desks for everyone.
Water Is Life: Clean water
In rural Arusha there is no access to fresh drinking water meaning students are thirsty, miss classes to collect water for their school or are left to consume unsafe water.
Being Well: Health & sanitation
A huge reason for missing school is due to sickness from poor sanitation & hygiene facilities and lack of education.
Girl Empowerment: Education for girls
Girls can miss school up to 3-4 days a month because they don’t have facilities or products to use during their period.
