CORE Tanzania

CORE Tanzania is a United States-based non-profit organization focused on improving education in rural Tanzania. It was granted tax-exempt status in January 2018 and operates with the EIN 81-4338205.

Mission

The mission of CORE Tanzania is to empower poor, rural African communities through improved education. They aim to provide a high-quality local alternative for villagers by establishing schools within their financial means. This effort is part of a broader strategy to break the cycle of poverty by empowering children to improve their own lives.

Activities

CORE Tanzania's primary activity involves the construction and operation of primary schools in rural Tanzania. Their first project is the establishment of Twegashe Primary School in the village of Bushasha, which is a community-led initiative. The organization emphasizes community involvement and has received significant support from the local community, including land donations for the school's expansion.

Sustainability and Environmental Focus

In addition to education, CORE Tanzania prioritizes environmental sustainability. They believe that a clean and healthy environment is vital for the well-being and future of Tanzanian children. This commitment is reflected in how they build and operate their schools, as well as in their educational curriculum.

Financial Overview

CORE Tanzania relies almost entirely on contributions for funding, with nearly all resources allocated directly to program expenses such as school construction, educational materials, and staff compensation. The organization is run by volunteers, which helps minimize administrative costs.

Governance

The organization is led by a dedicated board of directors with diverse expertise, all of whom share a passion for increasing access to education globally. This governance structure supports CORE Tanzania's mission to enhance educational opportunities in rural Tanzanian communities.
