About Moja Dunia

My name is Sarah and during 2007 I volunteered as a child therapist, doctor assistant and home based care provider in Arusha, Tanzania. During this time I was confronted with many issues that plage Africans, such as, HIV, poverty, unemployment, and lack of education. Tanzanian children have recently been enabled to attend primary school for free. Nevertheless, secondary school is not yet sponsored by the government and, thus, remains a distant dream for 93% of the population. This means that from the age of 12 years onwards children face no possibility of further education. It is sad to see young girls and boys with so much potential with no hope and no chances of self-betterment. During my work with  AIDS patients, I was approached by three teenage girls who were desperate to further their education; Mariam and Eliza had been out of school for two years and Veronica worked as a house servant since the age of 11. Together with the help of my friend Sister Dr. Martha Mao we were able to find sponsors for these girls and finance their entire education.  From this small first step, I saw that it is, in actuality, not difficult to make the life of an African child better. People had warned me beforehand that I would not make a difference, but by helping Mariam, Eliza, and Veronia I proved those people wrong. The goal of Moja Dunia is to enable many Tanzanian children to attend secondary school. Christian  and I work in Switzerland, in order to raise awareness and the money to pay for school fees; Sister Dr. Martha Mao uses our fundraised money, each term, to pay for children’s secondary school fees.
