Each Translation Order You Make Provides a Child in Tanzania with Five Days of Education and Food
Whenever you place a translation order on TranslationServices.com, we donate partial proceeds to feed and educate a child at the Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project in the village of Mikameni, Moshi, in Tanzania, for five days.
Education is key to success everywhere in the world. At TranslationServices.com, we have a firm understanding of both the importance of a strong education and the reality of educational opportunities in different parts of the world. Unfortunately, many people lack access to the education they need to thrive and break the cycle of poverty. The Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project in rural Tanzania has a vision of supporting the youth of its local community with quality education and nutritious meals that provide the energy they need to learn effectively. Eager to help, we’ve partnered with the project, and our US dollars go far in Tanzania, allowing us to make a real difference in these children’s lives.
Many children in Tanzania are stuck in a cycle of poverty.
Tanzania may be the 10th-biggest economy in Africa as of 2024, but many of its inhabitants live in poverty, with limited educational opportunities to help them break the cycle. In fact, Tanzania ranks just 31st out of all 55 countries in Africa in terms of its Human Development Index rating. A whopping 74% of all Tanzanian children live in multidimensional poverty, according to UNICEF, and children in rural areas are particularly affected, with adults routinely leaving their children alone at home to carry out agricultural or business activities necessary for the family’s survival. If the children are too young to stay home alone, parents have their older siblings care for them throughout the day, resulting in a loss of educational opportunities. Such is the case in Mikameni, a rural village in northeastern Tanzania.
Lack of access to education is a major problem for children across Tanzania, with UNICEF data showing that only 27% of children in the country enroll in secondary school. This lack of opportunity particularly affects children from poor or rural backgrounds, resulting in intergenerational poverty.
The Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project is making education accessible to rural Tanzanian children.
At the bottom of Mt. Kilimanjaro, close to the border with Kenya, you’ll find the Tanzanian village of Mikameni, which locals often call Chekereni. The landscape is rich and beautiful, but life in the village is often difficult, with many families facing the struggles of poverty. Innocent children just starting out in life are the most heavily impacted. The Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project has set up a facility in the small village, located about 50 kilometers southeast of the municipality of Moshi, and provides local children with invaluable access to education, nutrition, care, and other opportunities to help them thrive.
TranslationServices.com is thrilled to help with the initiative.
Roughly 80 children attend the Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project each year, eventually graduating to local elementary schools as they come of age. Their time at the Center has been shown to improve their academic and social performance at conventional school. The Center, which employs a Montessori methodology to provide its young students with early literacy skills, offers students ample opportunities to play, socialize, and learn, as well as eat at least two nutritious meals a day.
Help disadvantaged children access invaluable educational opportunities through your translation order.
Providing care and educational opportunities to disadvantaged children in rural Tanzania is a major undertaking, and for the three full-time staff members and six volunteers who run the Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project, it’s anything but simple. Staff work hard to prepare nutritious meals and maintain a wholesome environment for students to learn and play, and are constantly on the lookout for dangers, such as wild animals or dangerous elements of society. Unfortunately, there are more vulnerable children in Mikameni who require daily care and education than the Center can currently handle.
But you can change that.
As a proud partner of the Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project, TranslationServices.com is dedicated to helping the next generation of Tanzanians break the cycle of poverty and help their families and communities thrive. Education is crucial to this mission, but in Tanzania, many children lack access to this vital resource. In Tanzania, our dollars go far, allowing us to transform the lives of kids and their families, and when these well-educated children grow up, they’ll have the resources to transform their communities.
For every translation order you place with us, we donate partial proceeds to the Hope for a Better Future Day Care Center Project to help them change the lives of disadvantaged children in Mikameni, Tanzania. Your every order will educate and feed one child at the Center for five days. This vital education, nutrition, and care at such a critical time in the children’s lives sets them on the path to a better life for themselves, their families, and their shared village. Together, we can make a substantial difference in the lives of hundreds of children, five days at a time.
