》DOVE OPERAMO E COSA FACCIAMO?
- Kyosei Foundation ha sede ad Arusha, in Tanzania, in uno degli scenari più mozzafiato del continente, incastonato tra il Monte Meru e il Kilimanjaro. Qui gestiamo una scuola diurna a istruzione in inglese (Kyosei Pre & Primary School) che offre istruzione gratuita o accessibile a oltre 192 bambini vulnerabili di età compresa tra 3 e 14 anni, seguendo il curriculum nazionale della Tanzania dall'asilo alla primaria, con un forte focus sulla fluidità in inglese e sulla preparazione agli esami nazionali.
Ma il nostro lavoro non si ferma alla porta della scuola. Collaboriamo attivamente con la comunità locale attraverso progetti di sviluppo e diamo il benvenuto a volontari provenienti da tutto il mondo — che vengano per insegnare, finanziare/donare, coltivare, costruire, scambiare culture o semplicemente condividere chi sono. Ogni contributo, grande o piccolo, ci aiuta a costruire qualcosa di duraturo: un santuario di speranza per i bambini che ne hanno più bisogno.

》I NOSTRI PROSSIMI PIANI E LA LISTA DESIDERI?
- "Stiamo attualmente lavorando per espandere e migliorare le strutture della nostra scuola per soddisfare le crescenti esigenze dei nostri bambini.

Ognuno di questi rappresenta non solo un edificio, ma un'esperienza di apprendimento più sicura e dignitosa per ogni bambino che varca le nostre porte.
Continuiamo anche ad accogliere volontari appassionati per supportare l'insegnamento quotidiano, le attività della comunità e lo scambio culturale. Se hai mai voluto fare una differenza che puoi vedere e sentire, questo è il momento. Unisciti a noi per costruire insieme questa scuola da sogno."
