Sponsoring education gives a child skills for life!

Contrary to popular belief, there is NO free education in Tanzania even at primary level. For example, it costs on average £10 per month per child to send one of our children to government primary school. We have to pay for at least the following:

• Desk £15

• Maize £6

• School Shoes £22.50

• School Uniform £15

• Cash to the school to pay for the school cook £4

• Administration fees £2

• School watchman contribution £1

• Other ad-hoc fees (eg national exams in year 4 and 7; passport photos for school administration) £20-£40

• School trips £5-£10

For secondary school it is even more expensive as basic school fees start at £50 per term. It costs on average £20 a month to send a child to government secondary school.

We have children at all levels of education for whom we are seeking educational sponsorship at the following rates:

• Nursery education £10 per month

• Primary education £10 per month

• Secondary education £20 per month
