Help a Tanzanian Orphan Complete Primary School

Sara and Cynthia Need to Go to Primary School

In 2017, we wrote to you regarding two young preschool students in need. Sara and Cynthia, bright twin girls, were supported through their years in early education by our project. These girls desperately needed our support as they lost their father shortly after they were born. Their mother, who only has a primary school education, cares for them by doing piece work which barely provides the three of them with shelter and food.

The girls are now ready to move on with their education.  Unfortunately, the local government primary school is over an hour’s walk away from where they live. Even if the hour's walk was a surmountable problem for these two young girls, the school has no vacancies. The girls were accepted to a private school, however, it is also too far away to walk daily. Their mother is considering enrolling them as boarding students, but this would be additional expense.

A commitment to primary school education, with board for two students, is a considerable financial endeavor. We estimate over $1,200 per year for 8 years to fully cover the primary education for the twins. If you have the means to establish a recurring monthly donation, this would help us ensure that we have the necessary funds to send Sara and Cynthia to school.

With your help, the GLK Student Fund would like to support these students through primary school. Please consider making a special commitment for these two young girls. Any amount, recurring or not, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Global Giving Donors,

Thank you so much for supporting our students. Our students so greatly rely on your contributions to ensure that they are thriving.

We wanted to share with you a letter that Eveline wrote directly to you, our Global Giving donors.  We have attached a copy but here is what she writes:

"Dear GlobalGiving Donors,

I hope that you are fine and doing well with your work. Likewise, I am fine and doing well with my studies. The main aim of writing this letter is to say thank you because you paid for me the school fees for almost 3 years. Also me, I am trying to study hard and add more effort in my studies. Surely the school which I am studying is good and it provides the best education more than the school that I was before [she was at an overcrowded, under-supported government school before receiving her scholarship]. I am studying hard in order to be a doctor and help people with problems. Physically, I am well. I don't have any problems. Lastly, may God be with you everywhere you go. Amen.

From Evelina Denis

Lots of Love

God Bless you dear GlobalGiving Donors.
