Friends of the Children of Tanzania

We are delighted that by June 2010, FoCT had acheived it's 2010 target of £10,000 and are therefore able to build two shower and toilet blocks in two adjescent schools for disabled and deaf children. We hope to start building by the end of the year.

The courage and dignity that people can display in the face of adversity never ceases to amaze me, even after having worked for the UN for 10 years in some of the world’s most troubled places.

One of our main areas of focus is to support and expand educational opportunities for disabled children, including improvements to learning facilities. To this end, FoCT financed the construction of a recreation centre/school hall with computer laboratory, in a Primary School in NW Tanzania. Building began in June 2008, and was completed in early 2009. This directly benefits 120 disabled children as well as able bodied local children who attend the school.
