Description Program Srvc AccomThis organization ("BTFF") sponsored Silverbird Day Care & Education Centre, a limited company organized under the Tanzanian Companies Act of 2002 ("Silverbird"), which operates a day care and preschool facility for children from age three months to five years located in Elerai Ward, Arusha, Tanzania. Silverbird Day Care and Education Centre commenced operations in the beginning of January 2012 with initial enrollment of 11 preschool children. The sponsorship of this program ended Summer 2014. Silverbird provides individualized learning and care for each child; music, dance and playground activities encouraging skill development; hot, nutritious daily meals; intensive preparation and review for the Primary School examination and computer and internet training. A pilot project called Women Rise Above was established in November 2012. It provides entrepreneurship training for women to be able to learn to operate small businesses in and around the city of Arusha. Sponsorship for this program also ended Summer 2014. Beginning in Fall 2014, BTFF began Serengeti Scholars,a Project formed to sponsor thoroughly vetted and motivated secondary school students who would otherwise be unable to afford schooling. In Fall 2014, there were twelve students who came from three privately funded schools: St. Joseph Orphanage, The Sega School, and the Mungere School, all in Northern TZ. As a website had yet to be built for this Project, BTFF utilized the crowd funding website called Razoo.com. Razoo.com passed donations directly from the donor to the BTFF bank account, collecting a transaction fee for its services. BTFF used the services of Razoo until January 2015, when a website for the Project, serengetischolars.org, was launched. The premise was the same, however the students attend highly ranked TZ Government Schools. Unite the World with Africa was in 2014 a non profit fund raising management organization that donated to a variety of organizations in Tanzania including FameAfrica.org, the Sega School and the Red Sweater Project. The BTFF Board approved donations to Unite, in line with our goal of supporting several organizations in Tanzania.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
