Faraja's Unsung Heroes

Our generous donors, staff members, teachers and volunteers all contribute

to give our students the best chance to lead independent lives.

 Faraja's matrons and patrons, staff members who are indispensable to the school, are included in this group. These unsung heroes are committed, faithful and kind people who give their time and love to the children.

Matrons and patrons are with the students 24/7 and supervise daily activities like brushing teeth, saying prayers and making beds. They help the students clean the dorms and the dining hall and teach them how to do their laundry. They even serve food at mealtimes.

We are grateful for the many years of service from Patron Ajuaeli Tarimo – 8 years, Patron Godlisten Kileo – 19 years, Matron Amani – 18 years and Matron

Aurelia Rimoy – 20 years. 

Ajuaeli, Godlisten, Amani and Aurelia listen to the student's problems, resolve disputes and dry tears. They show comfort and care (in Swahili, Faraja) on a

daily basis.

When asked why she has worked at Faraja for so many years, Amani says she likes working with children. Ajuaeli says he likes to help children reach their goals. Their dedication to making a difference in the lives of Faraja students is inspiring!

Class 7 Spotlight

Saluting our Class 7 students during their final year at Faraja

Faraja Class 7 students Deo and Efrasia are getting ready for the Primary Leaving Exam and their graduation celebration. They have worked hard and are prepared for the future! 

Deo comes from the town of Karatu, near the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania. He has brittle bone disease. While at Faraja, Deo had orthopedic surgeries to correct bone deformities. He receives physical therapy and custom-made orthotic devices are provided to support and protect his fragile bones. Deo is bright, outgoing and popular with his classmates. He speaks English and enjoys practicing with visitors. When he grows up, he would like to be a pilot.

Efrasia comes from Rhotia, a village near the larger town of Karatu and the entrance to the famous Ngorongoro Crater in northern Tanzania. She has four sisters. At Faraja, Efrasia received an artificial arm and learned how to use it after an amputation. She loves all kinds of sports and hopes to become a teacher. 

You make the amazing transformations that happen at Faraja possible.

We count on your support to continue making miracles.

Thank you for making a difference!
