The Carpenter's Kids Program is a partnership between the Anglican Diocese of Central Tanganyika and the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. "Carpenter's Kids" are HIV/AIDs orphans and other vulnerable children who are selected after screening by their parishes. All children are eligible to become a Carpenter's Kid regardless of their religion.
The aim of the program is to ensure that each "Carpenter's Kid" receives a school uniform, a pair of shoes, and adequate school supplies to enable them to attend primary school. These children will also be provided with breakfast on school days.
St. Andrew's has designated funds to support 25 children in Dodoma. During this time, your parish Carpenter's Kids Program Coordinator will be able to communicate via internet with a communications coordinator from your linked parish in Tanzania. |
