In the heart of East Africa, Tanzania is known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultures, and iconic wildlife. But beyond its scenic beauty lies a different story—one of children struggling with poverty, limited access to quality education, and lack of basic healthcare. At Jabungu Foundation, we believe that no child should be left behind. Through our Child Sponsorship Tanzania program, we are working to break the cycle of poverty and give every child a fair chance at life.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to create lasting change, sponsoring a child in Tanzania with Jabungu Foundation is one of the most powerful things you can do.
Why Child Sponsorship in Tanzania Matters
Tanzania has made strides in improving access to education and healthcare. However, rural and marginalized communities still face enormous challenges. Many children are forced to drop out of school due to lack of fees, uniforms, or basic supplies. Some must work to support their families, while others suffer from preventable illnesses due to inadequate healthcare.
Child sponsorship bridges this gap. It offers hope, support, and a tangible path to a brighter future.
How Jabungu Foundation Supports Sponsored Children
At Jabungu Foundation, our approach to child sponsorship goes beyond charity—it’s about empowerment, dignity, and sustainability.
Here’s how your sponsorship helps:
📚 Access to Quality Education
Your sponsorship ensures that a child can attend school with all necessary supplies—books, uniforms, shoes, and meals. For example, our work with Greenhill Primary School has provided hundreds of children from vulnerable backgrounds with a supportive and enriching learning environment.
🏥 Healthcare Support
Sponsored children receive basic healthcare services and education on hygiene and nutrition. This reduces absenteeism and improves overall well-being.
🍽️ Nutrition and Hygiene
Malnutrition remains a challenge in many Tanzanian communities. We provide meals and health awareness to keep children strong, active, and ready to learn.
👨👩👧👦 Family and Community Support
We don’t just support the child—we also uplift the family and community. Our programs include parenting workshops, income-generating training for caregivers, and community development initiatives.
Real Impact: A Story of Hope
Take the story of Neema, an 11-year-old girl from a remote village in Arusha. Before sponsorship, she had dropped out of school to care for her siblings while her single mother worked odd jobs. Through Jabungu Foundation’s sponsorship program, Neema is now enrolled in Greenhill Primary School, receives meals daily, and dreams of becoming a teacher.
This is just one of many success stories made possible by compassionate sponsors like you.
