OUR COMMITTEE, FOUNDED BY JIM MORGAN IN 2001, is proud to be entering our twenty-fourth year of service (2025). Over the years we have raised money for faculty housing and cisterns at the Quaker founded Kisangura Schools in Tanzania, plus money to build classrooms at the Davanga School in Kenya. We have sponsored over 100 students at the Kisangura Primary and Secondary Schools, paying all of their annual school fees, textbooks, and uniforms. We pay the dorm fees for all of the secondary school female students we sponsor, so they may live on campus. We encourage and support students who pass their secondary school national exams to enroll in further education programs. We are currently sponsoring thirty-eight students in further education, ranging from pre-college programs, to college, to vocational training programs, to medical school.
