About Upendo School
Of the millions of children in Africa, those without an education are disadvantaged when it comes to life opportunities. Upendo School is a local, non- profit and sponsorship-supported English Medium School. It primarily serves orphaned and vulnerable children from marginalized families and communities in Tanzania, giving them hope for a better future.

Current Projects
Currently Upendo School educates children from Pre-School to Standard 1. Our vision is to see them through to University. The construction of three new classrooms has begun and is the first step to accommodate this vision.
Our long term strategy is to acquire land in a nearby village to expand the school further.
