Help Build Classrooms.

Every classroom we build means 40 more kids get the chance to go to school. Their parents quarry foundation stones, make bricks, haul sand and carry water. We look for good people willing to give money to buy the metal roofing, the cement and the other construction supplies.

In 2008 we aim to build 62 classrooms.

Contribute to our Scholarship Fund.

We are committed to never turning any kid away, no matter how poor their parents are -- or whether their parents are already dead and can't help them. School fees at our schools are very low by Tanzanian standards ($110/year) but we still need to make a special effort to give girls a chance so we offer any girl from the village a $75 scholarship -- and we believe we have to everything that we can to help as many of the orphaned children to stay in school as possible. 

In 2008 we expect to have 1240 kids who will need scholarships.

Give to our General Fund.

A school, of course, is much more than a building. We need desks, blackboards, textbooks and teaching supplies. We buy as much as we can each month with the money that people donate. The cost of these materials is not high -- textbooks costs $6 each, desks $13, blackboards $35 -- all probably easily affordable by parents in cities here in Tanzania, but very much out of the reach of people in the villages where we are building schools.  

In 2008 our goal is to purchase 5,760 textbooks, 1440 desks and 186 blackboards.
