Starting the year off as JBFC, we are now known as Mainsprings, with an entirely new look and feel to our organization. However, as always, we are still true to our namesake and mission of alleviating extreme rural poverty in Tanzania-one child, one community at a time.
But, the new look is not all that happened at Mainsprings this year. We are here to serve our children and communities, and so many exciting developments happened these past twelve months. As we close out this year, it’s hard to remember everything that has happened in Tanzania, but we would like to highlight a few accomplishments that YOU helped us achieve:
* We continued to have 100% pass rate on our 7th grade national exam
* We graduated our third class from secondary school
* We harvested of 36 TONS of fresh produce and built a wonderful new greenhouse on our flagship campus
* Our school continued to educate and feed 400 students daily
* Our clinic provided healthcare to more than 1,000 community members
* We established a permaculture program on our second campus
* We employed more than 80 East Africans
* We hosted 107 volunteers on our flagship campus
* We continued to provide a loving home to more than 55 vulnerable girls
* And we supported 12 girls in higher education
As we look back, we are in awe at what is happening. This movement is truly changing the lives of thousands of individuals in Tanzania because of YOUR support.
We look forward to doing even more in 2018 and hope you have a very Happy New Year! We will see you next year…
