EfforTZ Foundation

Providing an Education for Tanzania’s Children

Gratitude Report 2013

Thank You! Thank You!

Thank You! Thank You!

From the Co-Founders 2

Thank You! As grateful as we are to you for helping the students we serve, it’s nothing compared to how grateful the students are.

Scattered throughout this report are some of the students personal “thanks.”

Many of the children you help know your names, others just know that there are wonderful people in America who care about them!

Either way, they are very grateful to you…and so are we!

Thank you from all of us for taking these children into your hearts! Bebe Dudley, Fred Dudley, Mary Dupont, Sheryl Seyfert

Mission 3

Our mission is to provide a quality education to Tanzania’s poorest children. We do this by providing four types of assistance:

Scholarships to orphaned boys, Maasai girls, and other impoverished children.

School supplies to public schools that lack these basic educational materials.

Books to create libraries in schools.

Volunteers to provide classroom enrichment activities in public primary schools.

When we grant a scholarship we are committing to the student for their entire academic career.

Tanzania

“I am very happy for this stage I have reached, since I am a candidate waiting for the Tanzanian National exams, for accomplishing the ordinary secondary school education in October 2014...

“I am very happy for your support, guidance and encouragement that you have shown me from the beginning up to this moment. I am so happy.

“It is not an easy matter for a normal human being to do like you. They are very few.

“So I am so thankful to you.”

11 From Sophia…

“How are you? I hope that all is well. As for me, I’m fine. I have just finished my Form III schooling. I can say that I did well in my studies…

“I am glad that I will have some break before the start of the new school year. I won’t be able to go home because I am afraid that my parents will force me to be circumcised.

“I will spend my vacation at my sister’s house. I plan to help her and even teach her children on how to read and write…

“I thank you all. I always pray to my God to bless you all.”

From our Supporters Sue Tanner:

“…I have traveled fairly extensively through Sub-Saharan Africa over the last 15 years. I've seen first-hand how NGOs and non-profits in the region go about trying to fulfill their purposes.

“In terms of positive impact per dollar, EfforTZ must be among the leaders.

“Because the founders donate their own time and effort to running the foundation, we know that every dollar we donate is directed to an orphaned or disadvantaged child's education.

“What better investment could there be in our global society?” Review on www.greatnonprofits.org

Vivian & Paul Batterson, Jr.:

“We have been donating to EfforTZ since its inception.

“While we gladly contribute to many organizations whose work aligns with our goals and priorities, EfforTZ is the only one that uses every dollar taken in to directly benefit the children whose educational needs it was meant to address.

“...We are kept apprised of their (the children’s) progress through copies of their report cards as well as from letters written by the children themselves…

“This is an organization that makes a true difference.” Review on www.greatnonprofits.org

From our Supporters

Linda Ball:

“EfforTZ Foundation is a wonderful effort to educate children in Tanzania.

“The founders are educators who not only raise funds but go to Tanzania to teach and follow the money to see that it is being used in the best possible way. They use their own money to get there and support their efforts with additional funding.

“I am very impressed with the gains they have made and will continue to support them for as long as I am able.” Review on www.greatnonprofits.org
