Why fundraise for the Foundation for African Empowerment?
FAE is a unique not-for-profit non-government organisation working to increase access to education for children with disabilities in Tanzania through providing support services, awareness raising and advocacy.
The impact of our work is significant-access to inclusive education prepares children with disabilities to become self-reliant and contribute to family and community life.
We work with other partners to:
- Disability Inclusive Education
- Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
- Healthcare and Nutrition
- Women Economic Empowerment
- Ending Child Violence
- Awareness Raising and Advocacy
Since 2016, FAE has impacted the lives of over 1500 children including those with disabilities in Tanzania. With an estimated 32.5 million children with disabilities out of school worldwide, FAE has considerably more work ahead. Your support in fundraising can help us to make a real difference!
