Scholarships have opened new doors to a better future. For $45 a year, you can sponsor a child's school uniform and supplies in primary school. $250 pays for a year of secondary school, trade school, a secretarial course, or a tailoring course.
The orphans' community garden provides food and work for those without land. The flock of chickens is growing, providing much-needed protein.
Friends of Tanzanian Orphans are a group of volunteers who helped with initial funding for the Olasiti Orphans Center, now the Olasiti Children's Foundation, by raising funds to support the Foundation. The Dorobo Fund for Tanzania, a 501c3 nonprofit, receives donations for the Olasiti Children's Foundation, a Tanzanian community-based organization registered in Tanzania manages the funds locally.
In 2005, we stated to support program efforts such as daily meals to support for drop-in children, establishing a community garden as a source of food, providing education for orphans, and starting sustainable small-scale businesses. Starting from Zenan's porch, we now have constructed a building with bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and classroom. The Olasiti Children's Foundation is now a local initiative and we are proud to have helped start this community program.
Original programs started by supporting for primary and secondary students, as well as health education for teens and adults. Students recieved educational support such as shoes, uniforms, and supplies such as pens and notebooks. Secondary students receive scholarships as funding is available.
