Hello lovely people,
Tanzania is the first country to welcome all Tourists and Volunteers again with open arms without Covid 19 restrictions and Awarded Safe Travels Destination Stamps.
OUR MAIN CALLS !
- Help our charity and a school in teaching different subjects.
- Help building a school for vulnerable children and youths in Arusha.
- Help organise a fundraising through GoFundMe to build a school for vulnerable children and disadvantaged groups.
PHASE #1
In 2019 the organization managed to build two classrooms in the suburbs of Arusha to be able to reach the goal of raising awareness to the power of education to the community as well as helping vulnerable children and disadvantaged groups in Tanzania. So far on this site there is nothing apart from the new school building.
PHASE #2 (Our Elementary School is unfinished):
You can help us finalize our new school, the vulnerable children and the local community are waiting for their school to be ready. Let’s make this happen together ! We still need to complete solar cells, building school compound fence, Kitchen, Volunteer house, other classrooms, computer lab and library.
The funds are simply not there. Our children and neighbourhoods wait for our school to be ready to operate and we will provide them a safe place and a second chance to learn comfortably.
Without facilities and supplies, the children in Arusha have little hope of getting a free quality education, proper education foundation and escaping a hard life. We want to change that and that is why we are working on a big dream by having a best school that's built for vulnerable children and youths.
No previous experience needed to participate ! We are looking for people for the following fields;
- People who are willing to help us building a school for vulnerable children and disadvantaged groups.
- People who willing to help us in creating a fundraising campaign for the project and promoting on social media.
