We are a recognised Irish Charity (CHY17563). Our focus is the support and funding of Tanzanian school children to provide them with worthwhile, quality education to change their lives and their future.   Vision Statement As Christians we are committed to the idea that we must show our concern through actions as well as words and that an education provides a child with the chance to change his life, the life of his family and ultimately the lives in his community. This where we step in and aid students to further their education.
