Julieth: A hand-up not a hand-out.

Our Agent Emmanuel and Julieth

Julieth is an orphan at Muvuma. She did exceptionally well in school and has been accepted for a Bachelor of Commerce Degree in Finance course at the  University of Dar es Salaam. 

Julieth will be receiving a scholarship but needs funds for application fees, initial travel and food. We are delighted to be able to use your donations to ensure that Julieth can accept the invitation to earn a degree!

Thank you!

UPDATE: October 2017. Julieth sent us a letter to thank you, and her extremely dedicated sponsor Marjorie W.J.

Emmanuel, our wonderful Agent in Kahama, Tanzania

Joseph and Emmanuel are amazing, hardworking men who live in Kahama, Tanzania.  Both have made every effort to help us on our visits to Kahama, acting as drivers, translators and tour guides! We value their friendship greatly. (You can read more about Joseph in my Nov. 15th 2013 blog.) 

Earlier this year we asked Emmanuel if he would be our representative in Kahama, and thankfully - he agreed! Thanks to technology and our annual visits, we were already in regular contact with the officials and coordinators of the programs we are supporting or have set up, but having Emmanuel on the ground has allowed us to act and react much more swiftly: his local knowledge and insights are invaluable.

Emmanuel graduated from the University of Dar es Salaam with a bachelor degree in political science and public administration. He currently owns and runs a day care in Kahama, runs training sessions for the Barrick Gold mining company and teaches written and spoken English to children. We are extremely fortunate to have him on our team.   

Emmanuel and me in 2012. We all got lovely red kangas this time!
