Karimu International Help Foundation

Karimu joins over 10,000 other NGOs/ Non-profits on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3 because we believe that generosity ignites hope that if everyone engages in the act of giving positive change is possible. Everyone who has supported Karimu has seen the power of generosity, and now over 15,000 people of Ayalagaya Ward have been lifted out of poverty. But we have more to do. Join us on Dec. 3 for Giving Tuesday Our goal this year is to build a girls’ bathroom at Endasago Primary School because the government is threatening to close the school due to unsanitary conditions. Girls deserve privacy and the right to study with dignity. #GivingTuesday #KarimuFoundation #GenerosityIsPowerful #GirlsEducation #DignityForAll #SanitationForAll #EmpoweringCommunities #EducationMatters #GlobalMovement #MakeADifference #EndPoverty #HopeInAction #TogetherWeCan

Generosity is Powerful! Generosity generates more generosity. Its’ ripple effect is wide-reaching. That is why Karimu joins with other NGOs across the globe for Giving Tuesday --- Dec. 3 Generosity makes the world more equitable "In a world often characterized by division and conflict, GivingTuesday (this year falling on December 3, 2024) stands as a beacon of hope, a global movement that harnesses the power of collective generosity to create a more just and equitable world." (givebacknation.com) Generosity uplifts the community Once generosity is unlocked its ripple effect is powerful, as it uplifts entire communities and shifts the value of the individual to the collective good of the whole. Generosity ignites gratitude because it is an unending source of renewal and change for both the giver and the receiver. #GenerosityIsPowerful #GivingTuesday #KarimuFoundation #RippleEffect #GlobalGenerosity #CommunityUpliftment #GratitudeAndGiving #CollectiveGood #EmpoweringCommunities #SpreadKindness #MakeADifference #ActsOfGenerosity #HopeInAction

Sanitation is a human right According to UNICEF , campaigns to encourage simple hygiene practices like washing hands with soap can reduce the incidence of diarrhea by an estimated 47 per cent while use of proper sanitation can reduce cases of diarrhea by an estimated 36 per cent. Karimu has seen such results when we build new bathrooms and provide hygiene training in schools. Students attendance and exam scores go up, and we now see 30% less stomach diseases.

World Toilet Day : November 19 Sanitation is a human right. Karimu recognizes that sanitation is of the utmost importance ---to date we have built 10 new bathrooms, for 10 schools---we have 4 more to go. Without meeting these basic needs, students cannot remain healthy and succeed. That is why on Giving Tuesday we are focusing on building school bathrooms, especially for girls. According to the United Nations: “Everyone should have access to a toilet that is secure, hygienic and private, and connected to a safely managed sanitation system to properly dispose of waste. When toilet systems are inadequate, damaged or broken, pollution spreads and deadly diseases get unleashed. For women and girls in particular, a lack of safely managed sanitation, water and hygiene services leaves them more vulnerable to abuse, attack and ill-health, affecting their ability to study, work and live in dignity. Today, the world is seriously off track to achieve safely managed sanitation for all by 2030 – one of the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6).” #WorldToiletDay #SanitationForAll #HumanRightToSanitation #KarimuFoundation #HygieneMatters #SafeSanitation #SDG6 #GirlsEducation #HealthySchools #CleanWaterAndSanitation #EmpoweringGirls #GivingTuesday #SanitationEquality

Biochar: A Farmer's Best Friend in Tanzania and Beyond https://lnkd.in/dRu83sYk The news of successful Karimu’s Biochar Project is published! Good for the farmer and good for the environment! What is Biochar? A charcoal produce from agricultural waste that sequesters carbon dioxide. Biochar can help mitigate climate change by eliminating field burning, and therefore removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It can also improve agricultural productivity and waste management. Highlights from article about Biochar about Karimu’s success: - Increased productivity and revenue - Farmers saw their income rise from Tsh 233,777 ($85.6 USD) to Tsh 368,631 ($135 USD) per ¼ acre. - The increase in yield, coupled with the cost savings from replacing industrial fertilizers with biochar, significantly enhanced profitability. (CBEN) - 192% increase in profit for farmers Read more about Biochar and the success of Tanzanian farmers CBEN (Circular Bionutrient Economy Network) website.

Matching Grant: $30,000 Thank you Quantaphy! Students deserve to a safe, healthy learning environment Debbie Burns-Walton and Ken Terry, owners of a Santa Cruz, California, company called Quantaphy, are offering a generous $30,000 matching grant to help Karimu meet urgent needs. (To learn about our other fundraising goals, please see karimufoundation.org.) In Arri we must work quickly to build new toilets for Endasago Primary School. The school is in danger of being closed because of poor sanitation, leading to stomach diseases and urinary tract infections. New bathrooms, including a private space for girls on their period, will keep Endasago Primary open. Girls’ attendance in Karimu-built new bathrooms increases by at least 10%. Let’s protect the learning environment of all students. #EducationForAll #DonateForChange #HealthInSchools #SafeLearningEnvironment #GirlsEducationMatters #EmpowerCommunities #SocialImpact #SanitationForAll #SupportEducation #MatchMyGift #CommunitySupport #GlobalHealth #EqualOpportunities
