Venance Care Foundation

About us

The Venance Care Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organization (NGO) which was founded by Venance Mark Shayo in March 2014.

The Venance Care Foundation follows its mission to assist children living in difficult or poor environments, children who suffer from HIV as well as disabled children. Therefore the main idea is to help in the most simple and long lasting way: in affordable education. In order to enable parents to work during the day, the Foundation provides preschool education for children between the age of three and five years. Since malnutrition poses a large health risk for children in Tanzania, the Venance Care Foundation provides a daily meal to its children.

Projects:
• It is in our vision to build our own school within the distant future. The school shall consist of a nursery, a preschool and a primary school with 7 school years. For this purpose, Venance's father has provided several acres of land to the cause. The land is located in Nduruma about 30-40 minutes away from our current location and could be reached by an own school bus.
• Furthermore, we wish to create sources of income that enable the Foundation to be (at least partly) self-sufficient within the long-term. Cultivating vegetables, for both sustenance and profit, as well as keeping different animals, also for sustenance as well as profit, will provide sustainable possibilities of income.
• To save on monthly rent for the directors private room we plan to provide two small rooms to him on the property. Previous volunteers of Venance Care Foundation live in hostels and so by hosting the volunteers in our own building, the Foundation would get the opportunity to make money while the volunteers also benefit from a lower price for their accommodation.
• The cultivation of maize, watermelon and other vegetables will provide us income and generate money quickly for the short-term future. Therefore, we need to build a water well, a fence, as well as a room and a toilet for a farm worker who takes care of everything. His salary shall be paid through the sale of the products. In the future we also want to be able to pay our other staff's salary, the rent and other expenses through the farming project.

Venance Mark Shayo is the Founder and Director of the Venance Care Foundation.
