Introduction

 

The Changarawe Project was started in 1998 with the aim of providing free nursery education for the many orphaned and destitute children of Changarawe village, Morogoro region, Tanzania.

The Project has grown steadily since then and the school is now complemented by three other initiatives: a micro-finance scheme for women; the Nigel Lloyd Fund for orphan support; and the Bibi and Babu Club which supports grandmothers and grandfathers, many of whom are the carers of orphans.

The Project is a local initiative in every sense of the word, linking a community in Tanzania with a small group of supporters overseas. It is Tanzanian-led and run, with financial support coordinated by the trustees in London.
