About FoCT

What We Do

Friends of the Children of Tanzania was established in 2007 in the UK to provide education, social and medical care and support to orphans, vulnerable and disabled children and their carers, in the Lake Victoria region of North West Tanzania in East Africa.

We are a small charity, entirely voluntary. 100% of your contributions are directed at the projects in Tanzania.
We have NO UK OVERHEADS, setting us apart from many similar organisations.

Our aim is to improve the health, education and quality of life of disadvantaged children to help them reach their full potential.

A New School Hall

Posted on May 29th, 2009 by FoCT and tagged About FoCT, Field Reports.

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.
