partneR with a student
English is fast becoming the language of success and prosperity in Tanzania, yet government schools teach primarily in Swahili. Private English-medium schools are common, but their fees (nominal by many countries' standards) are out of reach for the majority of impoverished Tanzanian families. For a relatively small amount, you can offer a child in need an education in a good private school, setting them on the road to a better life. For the many children without families, a boarding option can provide healthy food and safe lodging, as well as a structured living and study environment.
Sponsoring a youth through higher education can really change lives in big ways. Completing a secondary level education and continuing on to study at university or college gives a young adult a chance at a good job, financial independence, and an ability to contribute to the prosperity of their whole community.
What does this partnership mean for the sponsor?
When you choose to partner with a child through Nakujali, 100% of your money goes to supporting that child. With Nakujali acting as an intermediary, the money you give will be paid directly to our partner schools. Receipts from the schools can be provided to you by email, if desired.
​
Nakujali will also facilitate your personal support for your student, through the exchange of letters, emails, SMS, or phone calls. You can have as much or as little contact as you are comfortable with. And if you ever want to visit your child, we can help with that too!
​
The cost of sponsorship varies depending on your child's age, school and family situation.
