How we’ve helped!! Perpetuachalis, aged 15 “I joined Mahida VTC so that I may be able to get a job and support myself. Childreach International has helped me grow intellectually and it has put me in a better position to get a job when I graduate. I hope to work with another tailor when I finish in November this year. If not, I would like to form a group and be given machines by Childreach International. I want to start up a business with the other graduates.” Vocational Training Courses Student Improvement Programme Joseph, aged 12 “My school used to be in a bad condition. The toilets were in bad shape, the classroom floors were broken and the kitchen was very basic, it was made of mud and timber. Childreach International has constructed a kitchen and toilets and renovated the classrooms so now I study in a good environment. When I grow up I want to be a doctor, as I want to save lives”. Carbon Offsetting in Tanzania Childreach International conducts Futurebuilding and Challenge Events throughout the world to raise funds for projects. The Carbon Offsetting programme is a tree planting programme in Tanzania to offset the carbon emissions from flights for our projects to remain carbon neutral and avoid increasing environmental degradation.
