Charity no. 100163 Date registered. 18/04/2014

Public benefits

The benefit which flows from the purpose of kids4school is that disadvantaged children in the Dodoma region of Tanzania are then able to attend school. Kids4school supply the necessary funding to these children to enable them to purchase a school uniform and afford the school registration fee, without which they would not be permitted to attend the

school. Kids4school also ensure that the children they sponsor to attend school have the necessary equipment and stationery so that they have the required tools to further their education, the means to better equip themselves and the ability to study more effectively. No private benefit is gained and no harm arises from this purpose. The beneficiaries are the disadvantaged children of the Dodoma region of Tanzania. The benefits are demonstrated through the increased numbers in school attendance records in the area, better grades being achieved at the schools and positive feedback from the teachers.

What your organisation does

Kids4school purchase and finance the necessary requirements to enable children in the Dodoma region of Tanzania to attend school. We work in financially deprived areas where purchasing these schooling requirements is not always possible due to extreme poverty. Although government schooling is free in Tanzania, you must have certain essentials in

order to attend. These include a school uniform, a small school registration fee and a contribution towards stationary and equipment.
