Where you can make a difference...

EDUCATION

Many of our students come from very poor, rural areas of the Moshi Diocese and are in need of assistance to continue their education and help their families.

A $1000 sponsorship will cover one student for a full year. Half year sponsorships are also available.

Your support will help fulfill the dreams of a young boy.
