KILIMANJARO TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION

KiliTech's charitable purpose is to improve health, education, and welfare conditions of marginalized people living in Tanzania through sustainable development. We focus on schools providing clean water, power and technology, and classroom improvements. Through these improvements we are creating a safer learning environment so that children can remain in school longer. Through education a society stands a better chance for success and eliminating poverty.

KiliTech works closely with the community development leaders, council members, and ministry of education to ensure schools are properly assessed and needs documented. We document the needs and evaluate local contractors to ensure they meet government requirements for taxes and business permits. there has to be a sign-off by the community, government, and school stakeholders with the contractors agreeing to the scope of work and the budget and payment schedule. KiliTech provides the funds and manages the projects from start-up to completion.

KilITech provides the funds start up supplies for vocation training of women and parents such as sewing machines and catering supplies, beehives, and maize mill grinding machines. We also provide education and vocation training.

We hire vetted and licensed contractors, plumbers and solar power companies to complete the work agreed upon. We then continue to stay involved with the projects and communities to help them overcome obstacles and increase quality and deliverables while encouraging independence and sustainability for the schools and communities,

KiliTech works closely with government, advocates, and officials to ensure proper registrations and permits. This allows us to move more freely within Tanzania, and receive government support for our projects, and safe passage. We work with village leaders and ask communities to share with us what they need, what can we do to help improve the conditions and reduce poverty, and they share with us what they need the most, which is usually in the form of water, power, and jobs. We focus on sustainable projects that will have long lasting results.
