For years, TCF has invested in teachers because we believe strong education starts with having the right people in the classroom.

By recruiting qualified teachers and investing in their skills and development, we’ve worked to improve the student-teacher ratio, strengthen teaching practices, and give teachers the tools to make a greater impact in their classrooms. Today, 56 teachers across our partner schools are part of that work.

This Teachers’ Day, we stand with the teachers who give so much to their profession and recognize the role they play in shaping the future of education.

Happy Teachers’ Day!

What a night!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in New York to celebrate the creativity of our young artists. From our longtime friends and supporters to our wonderful volunteers and the new faces just getting to know TCF, it meant so much to have you in the room.

A very special thank you to for sharing your creativity with our children and giving them the chance to discover what they can create. We are also thankful to for opening your doors and helping make the auction and the evening so special.

To everyone who took one of our children’s paintings home, thank you for seeing something in their work and choosing to give it a place in your spaces.

We loved having you there and hope you left with a little more TCF in your heart.

What do you call a friendship that connects different generations, 20years apart, and one very special place? In our Village, we call it family.

Our children grow up surrounded by people who care for them, look out for them, and show them what it means to belong. And as they grow, that love comes full circle.

Pictured above are James and Joshua, who joined our family 20 years apart. James is now a launched young adult, while Joshua is just beginning to find his place in the Village. Today, he is one of those big brothers Joshua can look up to, and in just a short time, these two have become quite the buddies!

Recess breaks are so much more than just time off from the desk!

A little fresh air and a quick laugh on the bench give our young learners at Gyetighi Primary School just the boost they need. These moments help children process what they have learned, build essential social skills, and return to their lessons ready to focus.

A lesson becomes even more meaningful when children have the tools to put it into practice. Our health team’s work in partner schools goes beyond check-ups and health classes. Alongside the lessons, the team provides practical support that helps children care for their health every day, encouraging good hygiene and healthy habits.

When you see Sigfrid (Sigi) on a construction site, you know something is happening!

As our Construction Director, he has been behind many of the spaces you see across the Village and at our partner schools. Over the years, project after project has taken shape under his watch, and it seems there is always something new on the drawing board.

Last year, Sigi led the construction of our third dormitory quad at Oldeani Secondary School, adding to the two dormitories already completed. Together, the three dormitories have created space for 460 students.
Now he is back on site, watching, measuring, checking, and probably already thinking three steps ahead.

So, what do you think Sigi is working on this time? Take your best guess in the comments!

Swipe to slide 4 to see the third dormitory.

True impact lives in the quiet, everyday routines that teach a child they are loved, valued, and safe. Grounded in our core principle of compassionate care, our house mothers bring this love to life after school and in every moment in between.

Happy Nane Nane!

“Eight Eight” might sound simple, but August 8 is a big day in Tanzania! It’s Nane Nane, Farmers’ Day, when we celebrate the people who plant, grow, and feed our communities.

So today, we're celebrating all things farming!
