After a baseline study, curriculum development, and teacher training, the final piece of the Life Skills in Schools pilot program is FINALLY complete—providing resource toolkits!

Chicago has always had a special place in TFFT’s heart, and since my move here last summer, I’ve been eager to continue to grow our Chicago presence. On Thursday, May 7, 2015, Bliss Weddings + Events hosted our inaugural Chicago event and official launch party. It was an evening to remember! Lauren Carter, Katie Kozlowski
WOW!! You really blew us away. Together you knocked the socks off our Annual Fund goal. Even without the match, you helped us exceed our goal by 15%. On top of that, you made it possible for us to receive the entire $15,000 match, which bumped us up to 138% of our original goal! Again,

This is our Chicago debut, and we hope you'll join us for an evening of good cheer in support of quality education in East Africa. Meghann Gunderman, TFFT’s Founder and Executive Director, will be in town for the occasion and looks forward to seeing you. Chicago and the surrounding suburbs have been so good
