Project Report | Oct 28, 2022
Meet Joan

By Gayle Kliever | Project Leader

Joan
Joan

Joan has never known her biological parents. Her mother died during Joan's birth in October of 2014. Her father is unknown. Joan’s first twenty months were spent in an orphanage in Ntoma, Tanzania.

Grace, a local lady, along with the moral support of her brother, adopted Joan in 2016. The brother had promised to help with Joan’s schooling expenses, but he unfortunately passed away in 2019. Grace works in church education and also helps to care for her disabled mother. Her earnings are not large.

When Joan was old enough, she tried out several local schools, but they did not really work out for her. When they did find a good school, there were severe problems in raising the necessary tuition fees. Joan’s adoptive mother did not quite understand the high cost of primary school education in Tanzania. She is contributing as much as she can to Joan’s education, but it is not nearly enough.

Joan is just now completing second grade, and is starting to settle into her school after a somewhat chaotic beginning to her education.

The GLK Scholarship Fund is contributing between $400 and $500 for her annual tuition and transportation. Her mother is doing what she can to pay for the remaining costs. Joan does not have a sponsor except for us. GlobalGiving donors who contribute to our project are Joan’s supporters and we appreciate all you give to help her succeed and flourish at school.

Thank you and be generous!
