This project is intended at helping school children from poor families by subsidizing school uniforms and stationaries. The project is expected to solve the lacklustre attitudes of school children towards attending school due to the lack of proper school attire. The government of Tanzania declared free education for all since 2016 to help low-income families send their children to schools yet uniforms and stationaries have proven to be a new challenge with many children attending school without proper uniforms and footwear. This became a source of embarrassment for most children who did not have proper uniforms. Some of them dropped out while others missed classes. The project is expecting to support 500 primary school children with proper uniforms in Moshi district, particularly those from poor families.  The achievement of this project will ensure that a child’s right to education is honoured without fail.

FEF has come up with this project in line with SDG goal number four. According to this goal, the United Nations envisioned an inclusive and equitable quality education and promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all. Therefore by 2030, the world plans to ensure that all boys and girls complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education. Hence our prime focus as a Non-Governmental Organization is to make sure that this goal is achieved by supporting the government’s efforts on the provision of free quality education to both primary and secondary schools. This necessitated the launch of the school uniforms and stationaries project for primary school children.
