Elimu Africa


The mission of Elimu Africa is to help support disadvantaged students in Africa by facilitating their pursuit of education which is vital to combating the cycle of poverty, disease and abuse.

We are a small grassroots organization founded by a group of volunteers from the US, who have been touched by the beauty and the hardships of the people of Africa. We are currently focusing our efforts in Tanzania, East Africa. In Tanzania, school is not free and many families live on only $1.00-$2.00 a day and cannot afford to send their children to school. Our main objective is to help support educational opportunities for disadvantaged people so they can have access to education. The word “Elimu” means education in Swahili which is the beautiful, rhythmic language of Tanzania.

We have developed supportive relationships with educational institutions and schools in Tanzania which serve students with the highest level of need. We are very fortunate to have these relationships with compassionate and experienced educators in Tanzania who help us carry out our mission. Many Elimu Africa board members have made the trip to Tanzania and fallen in love with these very joyful and gracious people as well as the beauty of the landscape. At the same time, we have empathized with the many challenges they face in their lives due to lack of education and the ensuing poverty.
