About

Before I was in The School Fund family, it was too hard for me to attend school when the school fee was not paid. Because of The School Fund, I learned never to give up. For some years now, my family has been separated. I had to live away from home during my Ordinary level studies. My mother had gone to Arusha to start another life so it was hard for me to be with her during my school years. My dream is to be a doctor and treat my fellow Tanzanians and even others from outside my country. For me to get there, I have to work on my studies. The moment I felt proud of myself was when I was told that I would be one of The School Fund Family. The happiest moments of my life are when I see my mother.

Hello everyone!

Dear students,
Welcome to the TSF family. It is a privilege for me to work with you. Though my welcome may come a little late. Please know how lucky you are to be included in this big family. Hope you are happy and do your best to achieve your goal. Opportunity does not come by easily, you need to remember to grab this chance and make your life different. Put your greatest effort and make your dream come true.
I am having some health problem; hence I am not able to reply to your journal promptly. Please know that all the TSF staff do care a lot about you. I will try to write to you more often after I gain my health back. Thank you for your understanding.
-Jenny

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
