In Tanzania we work together with local partners. In this way we ensure that our projects and initiatives continue, even when we are not present.
In addition to having these partners, there are also friends of Yourright Foundation who contribute to our foundation in their own way.

YOUNG LIFE TANZANIA
We take care of children by meeting them where they are, the way they are and believing in who they can be. We call this “contact work”. Young people in Africa face challenges: to get an education, find a job, help their families. They live with political instability and corruption, limited resources, drought, diseases and famine, drugs and alcohol. They ask the same questions to teenagers around the world: who am I? Do I matter?
The leaders of Young Life say they are loved and have a purpose.

MOKICCO background
MOKICCO (Mount Kilimanjaro Children Care Organization) is a NGO that aims to help orphans and children from very difficult circumstances, primairily in Tanzania. By placing them in families, where they get help to go to school, get food, get dressed and get health care and Christian education.
