Partnership with MICHE Association started in 2004 with the aim of eradicating poverty in rural areas especially low income population areas through education support. Our first partnership project was initiated in 2005 in Ifakara Morogoro by supporting total of six schools in key areas which are provision of food to schools to increase students class attendance and donation of desks, renovation of classrooms, building of toilets and special support to individual students.
