TANZANIA HUMANITARIAN AID TRIP 2023

Youth Island NY & Boston Education Counseling aim to fundraise for a bathroom renovation project at a school in Tanzania, which will provide students there with a cleaner, healthier environment in which they can achieve the full potential of their education.

We take them for granted here in the U.S., but bathroom facilities are a luxury out of reach in many countries. In Tanzania, less than half of all rural public schools possess proper toilet facilities, and functional handwashing stations exist in less than 45 percent of rural school buildings. In these areas, students are at risk for diseases that can spread very easily in an unsanitary environment, causing long-term health effects and even stunting their growth. And for young girls, a lack of proper facilities often means they must stay home from school during their periods, causing learning loss that holds them back.
