Who We Are
Inspiring Change with Educational Sponsorships for Girls
Our Life-Changing Services Empowering Communities
The Raheli Trust was started in 2008 by women in the UK who had benefited from free education and wanted provide that opportunity to girls whose families were unable to pay school fees in Tanzania.
We started as a partnership with Archbishop Kahurananga secondary school in Kigoma and since 2019 have supported students at Bishop Mpango secondary school in Kibondo, where students are boarders. In that time, Raheli Trust has supported more than 130 students.
The charity is run by experienced trustees who are all volunteers. Sponsorship money goes towards paying school fees, board, food, books and equipment of the most disadvantaged girls in their communities. Additional money from donations and from HMRC tax relief also enables the Trust to pay for science equipment, books and IT equipment to support their education. Trustees make regular visits to Tanzania to tour the schools and colleges and meet with our students, alumni and CBO members.
The Trust is supported by certified Community Benefit Organisations (CBOs) in Kigoma and Kibondo. They support communication with our students, pay fees and provide financial reports, receipts and feedback on exam results and our students. The CBOs work with the local community to identify children most at need sitting their entrance exams. Trustees of the CBO in Kibondo are Bishop Sospeter, headmaster Lameck Filbert, Swanmu Ahmad Hussein, a local businesswomen and Happiness Ndenza, a Trust alumnus.
The CBO in Kigoma is run by Madam Rose, Madam Mpango, Madam Floriana and Madam Rehema.
