Keep kids home. Keep kids learning.

We help vulnerable children in northern Tanzania grow up with their own families and stay in school.

Our mission

Alfajiri Life Schools brings support to the family's door. Community leaders and social welfare officers tell us which children need help most, and we step in with food, bedding, uniforms and school supplies so kids can stay where they belong.

Four programs

  1. We listenVillage leaders and social welfare officers tell us which children need help most.
  2. We supportFamilies receive the essentials that keep kids safe, fed, rested and in class.
  3. We walk alongsideWe stay beside each student through secondary school, then into training or work.

Every plan is shaped by the family and reviewed each school term.

We visit every home, listen first and agree together on what will help most. Support changes as children grow.
