Established in 2000, Africa Bridge helps children and their families in the remote
villages of southern Tanzania overcome dire poverty by developing and
implementing sustainable, volunteer-based social service and economic
solutions. Our team of Tanzanian employees is based in Tukuyu, Tanzania and
empowers villagers to create local solutions for local problems.
Our five-year program identifies the most vulnerable children and develops care
plans for them, establishes farm co-ops to produce household income, and
delivers training that advances the future of the entire community. This model
builds community self-sufficiency, economic independence, food security, and
lasting change. To date, Africa Bridge has helped create a bright future for 37
villages and more than 8,500 children.
BUILDING BRIDGES
Africa Bridge also touches local communities in the U.S. with our “This Is My
School” Program (TIMS). TIMS provides the venue for partner schools in the
United States to interact with Tanzanian schools in a meaningful way. U.S.
students generate resources to improve the environment and opportunities for
children around the world to learn. This support comes through curriculum
building, innovative learning, and resource generating activities. Locally,
Stafford Primary School, Riverdale School District, Rosemont Ridge Middle
School, Lincoln Middle School, and Wood Middle School all participate in the
TIMS program. TIMS brings together US and Tanzanian schools as a
community of learners. U.S. students learn to be a resource in the development
of world citizenship by using their talents and skills to do good work.

We have just begun a new investment in three villages within the
Kambasegela Ward, located in the rural southern highlands of Tanzania.
There are 1,500 vulnerable children in Kambasegela Ward, living in
households subsisting on less than one dollar per day. As always, our goal
in these villages is to empower people through our five-year sustainable
development model that pairs short-term startup capital with extensive
training to enable villagers to achieve long-term economic success.
Kambasegela is the poorest group of villages we have worked with and the
children need your help.
Through partnering with voluntary village committees, we have identified the
most impoverished households in these villages. At the end of 2017, we began
helping vulnerable children living in these households. Additionally, we helped
enroll over one third of these households in village-based farm cooperatives,
teaching villagers how to participate in cooperative groups, and created internal
savings/lending programs. In 2018, we want to provide even more micro-
finance for the purchase of cows, chickens, and animal shelter building
materials.
SPONSORSHIP IMPACT

villages, providing opportunities for most vulnerable children and their
guardians, village committees, and farming co-ops. Through your sponsorship,
you are providing opportunities for vulnerable children and families to move

worst impacts of poverty and offer a brighter future for all. Support Africa Bridge
