Byeya and Ntoma Primary School Projects in Tanzania
Charlotte Hunter writes, "If I could take you with me to Tanzania, you would see that a little help has created important changes for children in two rural, primary schools. Their families do all that they can, but household resources are very limited." Pocketful Of Joy supports a food program for the children during their school day, ongoing medical care including dental checkups and a de-worming program, a healthy water supply, a tree nursery, sewing classes, organic growing methods, and much more.
