Toa Tumaini Foundation

Toa Tumaini Foundation (meaning "To Give Hope") partners with local Tanzanians to provide quality education to children in TZ. Toa Tumaini Foundation, Inc.

Toa Tumaini Foundation was created in partnership with a local organization, Project Hope School. Together we strive to better the lives of street children and orphans, and those at risk of becoming street children and orphans in the village of Kariwa, Tanzania and nearby villages. We provide funding, resources, advocacy, and support to local community members in order to assist in the development

and growth of their projects. Project Hope School assists vulnerable children in the rural village of Kariwa who are at risk of becoming street children or have lived/worked on the street in the past. Its members are also working tirelessly to open a center for children who are currently living on the street. and Project Hope envision an environment in which children can live and spend time that provides them with hope, encouragement and opportunities, empowering them to lead the lives they dream of as well as seeing that they live up to their potential. We are deeply invested in the lives of some of Tanzania's most vulnerable children. Partner Organization:

Meet V. She wants to be a safari guide someday.

V joined our programs at age four. She'd lost both parents and was being raised by her older brother and the neighbors around them. By every statistic, the odds were stacked against her: a young orphaned girl living in poverty in rural Tanzania, where the net enrollment for secondary school is just 27%.

But her brother showed up. Her neighbors showed up. Local community leaders connected her to our programs, where she found mentors, friends, daily meals, and a quality education.

This is what it means to take care of each other. This is The Village, and we're inviting you to be part of it.

Monthly giving starts at $30. Are you ready to join us?

Before 2026 comes to a close, do these 3 things to make an impact:
• Spread the word: Share one of our posts
• Learn a Swahili word: Go back through our reels and learn one Swahili word from our lessons
• Ask a question: Think of one question you have about our work or Tanzania in general; leave it in the comments
• Bonus: Choose to make a donation on our website

Simple? Definitely.

But simple things, done by a collective group, create the biggest impact.

One of our very first students recently entered university.

That's the result of ongoing support. That's what The Village is built for.

Behind every statistic, like 2 million children out of school in Tanzania, are real faces. Real kids who want to learn, grow, and dream about their futures. We partner with local Tanzanian leaders to make that possible, and we can't do it without you.

Join The Village today.

Monthly gifts start at $30 and go directly toward meals, uniforms, school supplies, and more. We're building a community that believes where you live shouldn't determine whether you get to dream. Is that you? Join us today.

Most people don’t have a generosity problem.
They have an overwhelm problem.

Most people want to help. They care deeply about the world around them and want to make a difference.

But sometimes, the problems feel so big that we become paralyzed by our inability to solve them all.

We get it. Maybe you care so much that you’re afraid your contribution won’t make a real impact.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to solve the whole problem. You just have to do what you can.

Today, ask yourself: What can I do?

Every dollar. Every share. Every person who joins the work helps move it forward. We see the impact of small actions every single day.

The goal isn’t to do everything.

It’s to do what you can💙

Share this with someone who might need the reminder today.

2 million children in Tanzania are out of school, and yet, on paper, education is supposed to be free.

The reality? Families face real costs: school fees, uniforms, supplies, and transportation. With no programs to help, the barriers are endless.

That's why we created The Village, a monthly giving community where collective action creates a forever impact. For as little as $30/month, you can help a child in Tanzania get the meals, supplies, and support they need to show up and dream big.

Members of The Village receive exclusive insider emails with notes, videos, and stories from our community, all showcasing the impact their dollar has on real lives in Tanzania.

We're welcoming 100 members. Will you be one of them?

One question we hear all the time:
"Why should I join The Village?"

You're a good fit for The Village if:
✔ You've been trying to find a place to make a real impact.
✔ You want to feel like you're part of something bigger than yourself.
✔ You're ready to see the real impact of your gift.

You don't have to figure it out yourself.

You just need to be ready to join a membership group that's doing it together.

If that sounds like you, The Village may be exactly what you need💙

✨ Little by little, a little becomes a lot.

A year ago, we wanted to invest more deeply in our teachers, but it felt impossible.
• Where would the extra funding come from?
• How would we provide professional development opportunities?

Today?

We just gave our three teachers a well-deserved raise.
We connected with an amazing organization that provides teacher training and support.

Not because of one big success, but because we've prioritized it in the tiny details every single moment, leading up to now.

Growth has a funny way of sneaking up on us.

What's one thing that felt harder a year ago?

Your monthly Swahili lesson has arrived.

It's time to learn another verb: the word "jump."

English: Jump
Swahili: Ruka

Special thanks to another one of our preschool students for helping us with translation this month.

What word(s) do you want to learn next? Let us know in the comments!
