Featured Project: Supplies for Naura Students
The EfforTZ Foundation is a small charity working to improve the quality of education in Tanzania. By providing money for scholarships and school supplies, EfforTZ strives to improve the overall learning environment for impoverished, abandoned, and orphaned children. Since 2011, EfforTZ has been helping support hundreds of students attending four different primary schools in Arusha, Tanzania. Currently, [url=http://givology.com/~effortz/]EfforTZ[/url] is working on a [url=http://givology.com/~sfnstudents/]project[/url] to transport school supplies to students at the Naura Primary School.

Featured Student: Serah
[url=https://www.givology.org/~fkites/]Flying Kites[/url], one of our partner organizations based in Kenya, aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment for orphaned, abused, abandoned, and disadvantaged children. By running a children's center and a primary school in the Kinangop community, Flying Kites hopes to offer a high-quality and holistic education for each of their students. [url=https://www.givology.org/~serah/]Serah[/url] is one of the young children that Flying Kites currently supports. We just need $242 more to defray the cost of Serah's tuition and other school supplies! [b]What is her background?[/b] Serah is a kind and hardworking student at the Flying Kites Leadership Academy, where many children were born into absolute poverty and are unable to live with their families. Like most of her fellow classmates, Serah has no family members who can help pay for her education. Despite her difficult and impoverished background, Serah has a positive disposition an...
