Description
I am twenty six 27 years old Tanzanian guy who was born and studied in one of the very poor community where kids, youths and women are definitely struggling to build their better life situation.
Since I have registered a non profit organization whereby now we are running different projects for the purposes of helping different communities including my community through better and quality education as I believe that better education equals better future.
I opened a children school where children are attending daily lessons to get better education and we there is madams who are also not well professionally but at least they are helping these kids from poor families and communities.
We are located in Arusha district at Sokoni one Ward and it's just ten minutes from the City Center of Arusha and 45 minutes to Kilimanjaro Airport.
PROJECTS
ON GOING PROGRAMS
1. CHILDREN SCHOOL AND CHILDCARE
We run a children school where kids are getting daily lesson from 08:00am to 03:00pm from Monday to Friday. Our kids are aged from two years to six years old where they are taught by using Swahili and Basic English Language by our madams and teachers. At school we have two main programs Teaching and Childcare where everyone with a heart to help can participate
2. SPORT AND TOURNAMENT PROGRAM
In 2023 we have launched our football tournament called CHARITY CUP which aims to introduce young players, local teams and academies to the big Teams and Clubs in Tanzania for the aims of helping them reach their dreams. The tournament is held once a year on June when most of school in holiday
3. ECO FARMING
Our children school has expanded and giving education opportunities to a lot of children and families about 100 children now. With this big success we can’t wait to make more progress , we are now experiencing high food cost at school and due to that in 2025 we will launch our Eco farming project where we will be cultivating food products like corns , beans and vegetables which will be used at school and reduce the food cost.
4. COMMUNITY REGENERATION OUTREACH
This project was created for the purpose of making difference to some poor villages in Tanzania in terms of food, clothes and education supplies. We are doing this program for about two to four times a month on weekends and it’s very helpful and supportive because volunteers can really see what the real poor life is and take an opportunity to change someone life.
We believe in team work, therefore me and my team who are operating these programs together with Children, Youths and Women will be more than happy to welcome and host people from different countries in the world and share with us their experiences.Types of help and learning opportunities
