OUR ROAD TO BUILDING A NEW SCHOOL IN ARUSHA!
We raised $23,750.48 to build a new school in Arusha, Tanzania and start a school food program.. We raised $21,648 through an Indiegogo campaign (109% of our target), $260.40 through a bake sale fundraiser, $542.08 at a restaurant fundraiser and $1,275 from the Morgado Family Fundraiser. We are helping the school become more sustainable by supporting a chicken program and installing a well.

Indiegogo Campaign is Launched! Spread the Word!
March 2014
Funds raised at a small fundraiser in February 2014 sent to Africa to start food program and do preliminary work on the school, while preparation for Indiegogo campaign is underway. Food is being prepared in a nearby closet until the kitchen is built. It was important to us to have meals provided to these children as soon as possible.
