We are thrilled to welcome Viola to the team as an intern in our Tanzania office! She is working with Stephen and Theresa to assess the vulnerability of children and their families. Her strong passion for our mission is inspiring, and we are excited to see the positive impact she is sure to bring TFFT. Welcome, Viola!

Hi everyone, my name is Viola Usiri, and I am a proud intern at TFFT. I was born in Northern Tanzania in the Kilimanjaro Region. I studied education and received a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Dodoma. During this time, I had the opportunity to visit and to work with Voice of Orphaned Tanzania (VOT), based in Dodoma.  It was a great experience for me, and led to my continued interest in working to improve the lives of vulnerable children and orphans.

I first heard about TFFT while in Arusha mailing. I started reading on Facebook and found that the mission, vision, and passion of TFFT aligned with my interests in prioritizing the education of vulnerable children. I happily joined TFFT based on our common interests of prioritizing education for vulnerable children.  With great excitement, I became a part of TFFT’s team that works to assess the vulnerability of children and their families. I would like to express heartfelt gratitude to my two amazing team members, Theresa and Stephen. They are a pleasure to work with.

The bright scholars express excitement and show great passion for learning. When they receive the necessary support, means to access resources, and an opportunity for receiving quality education, I believe that all children alike have the capability to make noteworthy accomplishments. I chose to heighten my involvement in this work due to its meaningful rewards.
