Who We Are

About Ndoto in Action

Ndoto in Action is a Tanzania organization run by passionate young people. We help children, especially girls, in rural Tanzania get a quality education so they can break the cycle of poverty.

We partner with very rural communities in Arusha. There is often no electricity, no clean drinking water and no public transport, and most households live in extreme poverty. For this reason, our aim is simple: to turn poor children’s dreams into reality.
