About The NGO
New Stars Foundation is a NGO located in Arusha, Tanzania, Africa that has been operating since 2019.
We strive to provide basic needs and education to the kids who are lacking the opportunity to get better education due to poverty, family instability or disabilities. Our organization offers same opportunity to all kids and considers them as equal. All of them deserve to have a bright future! We also help to protect the rights of women who are considered to be fruitless in today’s community.
About This Fundraise
With this fundraise, we wish to buy a piece of land in order to be able to accomplish our daily missions. Especially now that the disabled kids in our program need a place where they can learn and another room where they can do rehabilitation exercise for their everyday growth. Right now, we are renting a building for our school. But it only has 3 rooms and we can therefore only accommodate our kids without disabilities right now.
We urgently need a piece of land so we can build a school that is big enough to accomodate our disabled kids as well. Including all of their special equipment.
Our school is completely free and we give all of the kids school material, 3 meals a day and clean drinking water. Most of our kids would usually not have the chance to get an education due to disabilities, poverty or family instabilities. But we want to end this vicious cycle of poverty and provide equal opportunities for everyone.
Why Now?
Due to the global crisis lately, our daily lives have changed and standards of living are very high. This has made our basic needs for our foundation very hard to afford, especially food, house rental and health products.
As mentioned earlier, the house which we are renting only has 3 rooms, and can not accommodate all our programs, which include early childhood education, kids with disabilities and women empowerment programs.
About Our Projects
Our Mission
Provision entrepreneurship education for women, supporting them economically, protecting the rights of kids by giving them better education and satisfy their basic needs, creating awareness to the community about how they can defend and protect the rights of their kids.
Our Vision
To establish a community where all kids and women achieve their rights, protection and equality.
Our Projects
1. Support kids to access education. We offer the same opportunity to all kids and we fight so all kids can be considered as equals. This is done through provisioning of school material and school fees, while at the same time supporting their families to have a sustainable income.
2. Women Empowerment programs. We help to protect the rights of women who are considered to be fruitless in their communities. This is done through provisioning education and seminars for women, so that they can do better and contribute a lot towards the development of the nation. Most of the mothers of our kids are single mothers, and they struggle a lot to have enough, even to have food every day. We just recently started to have workshops for them so that they can learn more skills to earn some money to improve their lives, like learning English, baking cakes and sewing tote bags from African fabrics.
3. Nutrition improvement for women and children. We address the problem of malnutrition of children by teaching the parents about a balanced diet and capacitate them on producing and using nutritious food. We also support children who are in a critical stage to recover from malnutrition.
4. Support kids living with disabilities. We support kids living with disabilities to enjoy life. They are the group that most lacks basic rights like access to education and socialize. We provide wheel chairs, walking clutches and other tools which enable them to do what they could not do without. Right now, they go to a school that is 7 hours away from their hometown. We would like to change this by opening a local free school for kids with disabilities.

Our Main Objectives
To create a conducive and supportive environment for the most vulnerable kids and marginalized women so they can access their basic rights like education and live a decent life.
