Educating for Empowerment.
Access to education changes everything. At FTK, we’re reducing barriers that keep children out of school by providing meals, supporting teachers, and improving facilities—especially for girls. But many challenges remain, and together we can ensure every child has a chance to learn and thrive.
The Challenge in Lower Moshi
In Lower Moshi, over 15,000 school-age children rely on more than 60 government and private schools. Yet many face daily barriers:
Lack of reliable school transport
High absenteeism and dropout rates
Shortage of classrooms and learning materials
Low teacher retention and motivation
Poor sanitation facilities, impacting especially girls
Parents unable to afford school-related costs
These challenges mean too many children miss out on the education they deserve.
FTK’s Approach
Community Collaboration for Lasting Change
In April 2012, FTK hosted the first Lower Moshi Education Meeting, uniting school leaders, teachers, parents, and local officials. Together, we committed to practical steps:
Continuous teacher training and resource support
Providing daily meals to keep children in school
Improving school infrastructure and sanitation
Supporting girls’ education to reduce dropouts
Linking education with health, income, and community development
Improving student transport to reduce absenteeism
A Foundation for the Future
These efforts have already made a difference—reducing absenteeism, keeping girls in school, and improving classroom environments. Yet many schools in Lower Moshi still lack basic infrastructure, teaching resources, and meal programs.
