Slum-Daycare in Dar es Salaam

Hi everyone

My name is Semira and I want to fundraise for a Daycare Center in the slums of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). Last year I went as a volunteer to their preschool for 9 weeks. I was totally impressed how they managed to teach 80 kids in this small school with 3 classrooms. From day one these kids got my heart. But to see them eat every day the same meal (Ugali) and drinking from the dirty tapwater which was barely enough for everyone broke my heart. So I donated for a better water supply, fans schoolbooks and pencils. Recently I visited the school again for 2 weeks and I they couldn‘t pay their rent anymore. The school is depending on the amount of kids and the payments of the schoolfees (0.60 $ per day). Less and less parents can afford that…

With the donations I want to support them with the next rent and start a renovation of the floor, because in the rainseason the water cannot drain away and floods the classrooms.

I know that with all the small steps we can make a big step for them.

Thank you!
