Kamitei Foundation is a non-religious charity that aims to make an effective contribution to the education of children in rural Tanzania through community programs and individual scholarships.

Currently,Kamitei Foundation reach over 3,000 children through the 10 schools that it supports and over 60 children through individual scholarships.

The focus on education is based on the following beliefs:

  • In the longer term, education has a strong positive impact on the standard of living of individuals and their communities
  • Education has important indirect benefits in areas such as health, birth control and empowerment of communities
  • The benefits of education tend to be structural and long lasting: it creates a virtuous circle.

    Field activities are based on multiple years of on-the-ground experience in rural Tanzania as to how education can be structurally improved in the most effective and efficient manner, whilst keeping overhead costs to a minimum.

    Kamitei Foundation use multiple approaches to reach its aim; they build school facilities, supply desks, books and teaching aids, provide housing, training and incentives to the teachers, etc.

    Kamitei Foundation does not offer a 'free ride', however: the communities have to contribute themselves as well.

    This matching principle ensures that the communities are really committed to make things work.
