Small Achievers Day Care and Nursery School

Our Background

For the past 4 years, PJ, the founder of Small Achievers, worked with the volunteer organization Projects Abroad, as a Care and Teaching Projects Coordinator. In this role, he helped place volunteers in a variety of orphanage centers, day care centers and schools around Tanzania. This experience reinforced what he already knew... that children needed quality care and attention, especially in their younger years.

During his work with Projects Abroad, PJ often saw very young children roaming the streets after their parents left for work each morning, and he was saddened to see children in his community playing around along the dirty roads with no adult supervision. To make matters worse, he saw the children were also playing very near the shops that served alcoholic beverages, and the children were mimicking the behaviors and language of locals who were buying and drinking the alcohol nearby.

After much prayerful consideration, discussion and planning, PJ and his wife Scolar, embraced and embarked on a mission to help care for these "little angels" in their community, and "Small Achievers" Nursery and Day Care Center was born.

In 2018, Hearts in Unity, a non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) based in the USA, partnered with Small Achievers. It is our mutual hope that this partnership will help Small Achievers achieve their goals in their care and teaching of the small children they serve in Tanzania.
