The $150/year tuition fee in Tanzania is an enormous financial hurdle for many, and only about 70% of high school-aged Tanzanian youth attend school. The School Fund seeks to help solve this problem by establishing a website where the Tanzanian students learn to use the internet by posting profiles which supporters around the world can read and use to sponsor a student or a school.
The Capital Good Fund (CGF) provides low-income Providence residents with the capital and skills needed to raise their income levels and improve their quality of life.
