Help Build ‘Kindergarten of Joy’ – Tanzania

We are 'KINDERGARTEN OF JOY'.

Founded by Albert Kahai, (Founder and Director of Hurumia Watoto Charity) 'KINDERGARTEN OF

JOY' is a small pre-school based in Mafinga in the Iringa District of Tanzania. We are giving children from

the community, both fee-paying and non-fee paying the opportunity to learn and develop in a kind, safe

and familial environment.

Currently we are in an interim building that is suitable for our current purpose, but as

our project grows, it will rapidly become unfit for our needs.

OUR PROJECT:

To keep up with the needs of our community and its children, we wish to build from scratch our permanent,

long-lasting 'KINDERGARTEN OF JOY'.

The aim is to have 2 classrooms, appropriate washing/bathroom

facilities and volunteer accommodation.

Volunteers and the generosity of friends and strangers alike are essential to this program. It is only

through this kindness and through donations that we will be able to move our project forward and achieve

what we hope to for the children and their futures.

It is our joy that we can provide even for

non fee-paying children with meals through fees and fundraising.

The children at 'KINDERGARTEN OF

JOY' are taught in both Kiswahili - the national language of Tanzania-

and English, something that is unusual but very progressive in this

country as generally English is only taught once a child is at Primary

School. We believe that setting up a child with the basics of reading, writing and counting in English is key

to ensuring the best of possible starts for them. The parents of those at 'KINDERGARTEN OF JOY'

are very proud to send their children here and it is regarded at the best in the area because of this

education in English.

People are important, and with the help of people we hope to grow our project into what we know it can be.

The children at 'KINDERGARTEN OF JOY' have joy and love to spare and potential in abundance. It is our

wish to help shape them and show them the generosity of people - friends and strangers that can help us

to help them.

Where The Money Will Go:

There are many areas of our project that need ongoing support from donations while still keeping our eye on the long-term building project.

- Building materials for the foundation of the new school e.g. cement, steel bar, bricks.

- Educational materials for our current classrooms.

- Rent for our interim buildings.

- Supplement for our non-fee paying children.
