My Nonprofit Reviews

Achieve in Africa has made great strides in Helping poor Tanzanians improve their education . AIA has rehabbed crumbling classrooms, purchased new desks for over crowded classrooms and helped build a secondary school. In the summer of 2011 I was able to visit Arusha, Tanzania and work with the students teaching them English. The volunteer group I was with fixed up a classroom by pouring a concrete floor and plastering the walls. This added a new classroom to the school. The volunteers also painted the school and dug drainage trenches so rain water would not come into the classrooms. On that visit I was able to see other rooms that had been rehabbed in a prior year and new desks purchased by AIA. That year we saw the secondary school in the beginning stages, which has since been opened to students. The secondary school is very important to the town so the students do not have to go to other towns to continue their education. My visit to Arusha so impressed me that I returned home to raise money to help with the secondary school, to buy uniforms which are required to go to school, and to purchase more desks for the secondary school. I highly recommend Achieve in Africa as a worthy non-profit organization.
