FAMILY … This word comes up a lot when people think of TFFT, our network, and our scholars. We as a team pride ourselves on the family TFFT creates. Our mountain (aka our mission) is large. We recognize that, but it doesn’t intimidate us because we know that it is achievable with our sustainable approach.
Nevertheless, even we have to remind ourselves often to celebrate our successes along the way. Every step towards improving the quality of education and to increasing orphan and vulnerable children’s access to quality education in Tanzania moves us one step closer to realizing our mission. This 2012 Annual Report shares those milestones. While we’ve already begun 2014, we believe there is still great value in the report’s content and we want you–our donors and supporters–to understand the impact you have made on our work.
Together we raise the level of discussion about the limitless potential of our scholars and make a difference each day. Your support each and every year—from the Valentine’s SHARE the LOVE Challenge, to the Annual Fund campaign, galas, benefits, birthdays, major gifts, 10ks, 5kms, triathlons, general contributions, and sponsoring our children—becomes a part of our history, and sets the foundation for our future.
Without YOU, the mountain we’re climbing would seem much taller and more treacherous.
This Annual Review lays out our Strategic Plan that will take us into 2015. It explores how TFFT defines orphan and vulnerable children (the target population of our services); we map out our progress in our core programs of Teachers Training, Full Circle, and Scholarship.
In the pages of our Annual Report—and especially on page 12—you will see the impact that your support has on the lives of so many of Tanzania’s most vulnerable children. As you can see through Irene’s reflection on her first flight (pg. 16-17), TFFT’s approach to scholarship is personal and longitudinal. Irene is one of our secondary scholarship students, and by supporting TFFT, you are supporting Irene’s dream to become a pilot.
TFFT is stronger because you share our belief that all children deserve access to quality education. Help us share this impact and spread awareness of our work. Thank you for taking a moment to reflect on TFFT’s journey.
We must give a HUGE thank you to Causality for the time and effort they generously donated to help TFFT share our impact. We are proud that we received all the design work for our Annual Report pro-bono through The Causality Brand Grant. Thank you for sharing your talent so that TFFT’s impact can SHINE!
Keep your eye our for 2013’s Annual Report, which we will publish this fall. In the meantime, ASANTE SANA for helping to make this all possible.
With gratitude,
Meghann
