Malengo Development Foundation (https:malengodevelopmentfdn.wordpress.com) is the fast growing Non-Governmental organization located in Usa-river Arusha. We are now struggling to raise fund to lift poor children and youth out of poverty through providing an innovative and inclusive education and skills teaching projects. Our current key focus is to build better tomorrow to young children (2-5 years) who are at home and are missing opportunities to have a good start of studying literacy and numeracy and to young women and men (15-25 years) who are missing technical studying opportunities because of their families’ poverty. Due to budget constraints we are failing to reach the big number of poor children and youth who are in need of our support.
