Planting Roots Plan
Our largest project is our Planting Roots Campaign. Planting Roots is our campaign to purchase land and build a free and reduced tuition school in rural Tanzania. The inspiration behind our campaign name is that building our own school will allow us to plant roots for a permanent home. This permanent home will allow us room for growth and the ability to become both sustainable and independent.
Toa Tumaini Foundation, Inc. aims to provide free education at a nursery through primary school level and walk alongside families while they access education. We currently support just under 100 children and employ three teachers and one cook. Purchasing land and building a school will allow us to provide free education to an increased number of children living in poverty. From the beginning we have rented spaces for our school which has confined us and prevented us from expanding our reach to additional children and families in need. It has also caused us to send children to other primary schools in the community after they graduate from nursery school.
Our experience running the school these past twelve years, paired with community feedback and desires have led us to this goal. We know there continues to be a large number of children without access to education which has solidified the need for this solution. Our Tanzanian team and community brought this proposal to our US Board, who unanimously supports this project. It is our dream to open both a nursery and primary school, eventually reaching around 300 students and employing a minimum of ten teachers.
In the short term, we plan to purchase land and build our nursery school space by June of 2024. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for this project. The money raised will fund the land purchase, construction, supplies, and labor for our forever home.
