Our Mission

In Tanzania, numerous challenges hinder children's ability to attend school, including poor nutrition, inadequate and under-resourced schools, limited access to healthcare, and insufficient funding for primary and secondary education. Project MEMA, a non-profit organization founded in 2010, is dedicated to addressing these obstacles. We provide a comprehensive range of support to students and schools in Moshi, Tanzania, East Africa. This includes student sponsorships, healthcare resources, school lunches, classroom supplies, uniforms, and school enhancement projects. By tackling these issues holistically, we strive to create an environment where children can thrive academically and personally.

Who we are & how we got started

At Project MEMA, we are driven by the dedication of local teachers and students who inspire us to make a difference. Our goal is to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for students while strengthening the local community. Through close collaboration with Living Kiwelu, our In-Country Director, and Vicky Mariki, a teacher at Vicky's Day Care and Project MEMA Advisor, we address the holistic needs of the community, encompassing education, health, mental well-being, and more. We strive to be a support system for the students and families we connect with, recognizing that education is just one piece of the puzzle. By working hand in hand with local partners, we create a comprehensive approach that empowers individuals and uplifts the community as a whole. Together, we are committed to making a lasting impact and fostering a brighter future for all.
