EDUCATIONAL GRANT

Saint Michael’s School

Kiolo, Tanzania

The Jennison Charitable Foundation partners with the David Tilley Children’s Foundation (DTCF) to sponsor the secondary education of several children at the Saint Michael’s School in Kiolo, Tanzania.  Coming from homes where the typical daily income is around $1.00, children in Kiolo often move away from home in hopes to earn a living.  Because they’re moving away from home at such a young age with limited education, these children often become the victims of abuse.  The DTCF has worked to offer these children an alternative: a high school education.

Together with the DTCF, The Jennison Charitable Foundation has been able to offer many children, regardless of their religious denomination, the financial assistance needed in order support them through their four years of secondary education.  This support allows these children so many more career options than they would have had embarking out on their own without the education they received at the Saint Michael’s School.
