Help Our School, Help Their Futures

Family and friends,

Berega is a small village in the bush of Tanzania where we will be volunteering with the organization Hands4Africa. The mission of this NGO is to improve the lives of mothers, children, and families through sustainable solutions to reduce poverty, provide education, and improve healthcare. H4A works to better the community in Berega by making consistent improvements to the local hospital, hosting a nursing school to staff the hospital, educating local farmers in agricultural practices, and providing a hands-on bilingual education to Berega's young.

Children under the age of 15 make up more than 44% of Tanzania's total population. We will be volunteer teaching at Bishop Chitemo Anglican School to help meet the educational needs of these young people. Learning English is essential to young Tanzanians, as it gives them the tools they need to pass their national exams and continue their education past the fourth grade.

The money you donate on this page will go toward Hands4Africa's mission, in terms of both education and healthcare, thereby building up the community of Berega to self-sustainability.
