Neema International hasn't added a story.
Tanzania is amongst the poorest countries in the world and has a large population who are uneducated and illiterate. For these, a path out of poverty towards a better future is almost impossible. Access to education remains a huge problem with increasing school fees and internal economic problems. Neema International is working to help children and families in this region get the education for themselves and their communities.
Eductaion is not just a tool to help alleviate poverty in these regions but also a shield for other issues such as child crime, marriage, rape, labour and child pregnancy. By ensuring children are in school we can decrease their chances of becoming vulnerable to such problems and significantly reduce their exposure to such risks.
Neema Internations tries to get each child a sponsor for private education to ensure a quality education which costs £300+ per child/year. Private primary schools teach classes 100% in English compared to public schools which are 100% in Swahili. This is a huge problem when public secondary schools teach lessons in English leading to an alarming proportion of children dropping out due to the lack of english exposure pre-secondary. The sponsorship cost includes everything; fees, healthcare, food, transport and supplies too! Sponsoring a child is not just their education but their neccessities too!
The difference is happening right now! See http://neemainternational.org to see what
fundraising has achieved! In 2015, myself and 17 others climbed
Kilimanjaro raising over £36,000!
I have been working with Neema International for almost three years now and the change to the community and these children's lives from the support of this non-profit is unbelievable. Mandy doesn't take a wage, instead she has taken a part-time job teaching at a local primary school (Mrupanga Parimary in Rau) to support herself. The dedication she has to these children is truly inspiring and I'm so excited for the third trip back out in June 2016 for the grand opening of the new centre!
