Challenge

There are an estimated 437,500 street children in Tanzania. Many live on the street because of the violence and abuse they suffered at home. An Additional 38% of children live in households headed by a single mother. In 2016, Tanzania had 2.6 million orphans from all causes, 40% of which is due to the AIDS epidemic. The magnitude of orphanhood in the country increases with age, from as low as 1% in children under age 2 years to as high as 18% in children aged 15-17 years.

A Boarding School will provide the basic necessities for the children, a roof over their heads, food, safety, community, and a quality education.
