Philanthropy

Cheti is a US based 501(c)3 non-profit organization that creates opportunity for the impoverished children of Tanzania through education. Cheti believes the answer to ending extreme poverty lies in educating youth. We strive to open doors for students who would otherwise have no hope for education, any chance to go to college or provide for their families. Our approach is two-fold: through individual child sponsorship, families no longer need to pay school fees – enabling them to focus on other family necessities. The children, who otherwise would have little to no opportunity for an education, are now in a classroom – every day, learning. Additionally, we build the capacity of local private schools. We provide our school directors and teachers proper training, and the resources and knowledge to expand their impact throughout the community. Through each book we buy, classroom and orphanage we build – we are enabling our local heroes to help more children. We have just about 80 nursery and primary students sponsored. We have built classrooms, kitchens and bathroom facilities, purchased school buses, and provided health and educational resources to two schools and over 650 students. But we are just getting started!
