Back to School 2026
Send 600 children back to school fully equipped
About This Campaign
As Tanzania's new academic term approaches, hundreds of children in our partner schools face returning without textbooks, uniforms, shoes, or even exercise books. For many families, the choice is stark: buy food or buy school supplies.
The Back to School 2026 campaign aims to raise $20,000 to provide complete school supply kits to 600 children across five schools in Mwananyamala, Magomeni, and Temeke. Each kit includes textbooks for all subjects, three exercise books, pens and pencils, a geometry set, a school bag, and a pair of shoes.
Beyond supplies, 50 children from the most vulnerable households will receive full-year scholarships covering tuition, exam fees, and a school meal program. We partner directly with school heads and teachers to identify the children most at risk of dropping out — ensuring every shilling reaches those who need it most.

Campaign Updates
74% funded — 450 kits ready to pack
We have now raised $14,750 — enough to fund 421 complete kits. Our team has begun purchasing supplies in bulk, getting significant discounts. We need just $5,250 more to reach all 600 children before the term begins on August 1st.
First 100 donors — momentum is building
We are touched by the response. In just three weeks, 100 donors have contributed. A local business in Dar es Salaam donated 200 school bags, reducing our costs and allowing us to redirect funds to more textbooks.
