Frequently Asked Questions
Kilimanjaro Aid Project (KAP) is a community-based organization founded in 2018 in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. Our mission is to reduce poverty, provide opportunities, and build sustainable support systems for elders, widows, and children living in rural communities. We believe that when a community rises, everyone rises with it.
KAP runs several programs: Elders & Widows Support (food, clothing, beds, toilets, chicken coops), Light for Africa Solar Project (distributed 600+ solar panels), Kids Sponsorship & Welfare (school uniforms, medical care, sponsorships), and our major project: Building a Primary School in Lerangwa village for 928 children.
You can support through our website's support page. The school project needs $110,000 total, and we plan to begin construction once we secure the first $50,000. Every support, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving 928 children access to quality education in a safe learning environment.
Yes! We offer monthly or yearly child sponsorships that provide school uniforms, learning materials, medical care, and personal support. We also welcome volunteers who want to make a difference. Please visit our volunteer page or contact us to learn more about opportunities.
Lerangwa village has only 1 primary school with 928 pupils, but only 8 usable classrooms and 6 teachers. Many children walk long distances, sit in overcrowded conditions, and drop out early. Our new school will provide 8 modern classrooms, safe toilets, a playground, and we aim for 100% free education including school fees, daily lunch, uniforms, and books. This will transform the entire community.
KAP works directly with communities and maintains regular inspections and feedback mechanisms. We partner with organizations like Kilimanjaro Aid Project (Austria) and Peace Lamp Foundation (China). We provide regular updates on our projects and ensure that supports go directly to the programs and people who need them most.
