Agape Frontiers is located in Shinyanga, Tanzania and founded the AKOS school for girls. Agape receives limited funding from the government of Tanzania to maintain the school. It is our goal to work with Agape to provide improved facilities, food security and educational support that will have significant impact on the lives of the girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/2ca2d0e8-b74d-446d-8d06-2878b4555298/AKOSDemonstration.jpg Home - Support for Communities Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our vision extends beyond the school to help ensure students and their families have access to additional resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/6aa68bd0-804c-42dd-8309-7615226fa517/TeacherAkos+crop.jpg Home - Contributions from CUSO CUSO Canada, a Canadian charitable organization that receives substantial funding from Global Affairs Canada, has provided assistance to Agape Frontiers by funding Canadian volunteers for teaching and facility support that would not have been otherwise possible. These volunteers subsequently engaged in personal fundraising in Canada during 2020 that provided teaching supplies and necessary improvements to the school facility, including a cement floor on the dormitory side of the building to enhance sanitary and cleanliness issues, plus windows to keep the rains out. Currently, CUSO Canada is funding local teachers and one Canadian IT volunteer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/d127b5b9-92ce-432a-aff0-07e109c79327/AKOSdormbeds.jpg Home - Materials for Living More needs to be done to improve the girls’ living conditions. The primitive dormitory is built adjacent to the school and is meant to house 35 girls but has often been used to support over 50 girls, ages 11 to 18 years. They have no running water, cooking is done over an open fire outside and a single solar panel allows the teachers to charge their phones. https://www.akosfoundationcanada.com/food-security daily 0.75 2024-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/9adbcb96-8dfc-468d-8b95-20a50af2ee98/Crop+Cultivation+with+labels.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/9f26e765-ed30-412d-b253-4cce76072514/Cost+of+Cultivation.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/97c41b42-f216-444d-ad6b-63e1a460d9b6/ChibeLunch.jpg Food Security https://www.akosfoundationcanada.com/laundry-space daily 0.75 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/c11f1993-ad74-4ee9-a241-da77207d0cf4/Artist%E2%80%99s+Rendition.png Laundry Space - Fresh Start: A Proper Laundry Space for Rescued Girls Project Overview: The current laundry area at AKOS Safehouse lacks proper infrastructure, causing challenges for the girls, especially during the rainy season. Clothes are often hung in muddy conditions, and washing is done in an inefficient space with limited access to clean running water. This project aims to install a well-organized laundry system, ensuring hygiene, efficiency, and durability. Objectives: Install sturdy, anchored metal posts with multiple clotheslines to accommodate high laundry volume. Create a stable ground surface using patio stones or gravel to prevent standing in mud. Establish a dedicated washing area with access to clean running water near the laundry lines. Estimated Budget: Total Cost (Gravel Option): ~$1,142.00 CAD [2,085,000 TZS] Total Cost (Patio Stone Option): ~$2,885.00 CAD [5,265,000 TZS] Conclusion: This project will significantly improve laundry conditions for the girls at AKOS Safehouse, providing a clean, organized, and efficient washing and drying space. If funding is limited, the project can start with the gravel option and later upgrade to patio stones as additional support becomes available. We appreciate any contributions to help make this a reality for the girls. https://www.akosfoundationcanada.com/our-vision daily 0.75 2024-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6190515472f33d74aefbb415/c0d4a480-e734-4e39-b520-f85795943efa/20211030_112037.jpg Our Vision and Mission - Our Vision: “Empowering a Brighter Tomorrow” We envision a world where every at-risk girl in impoverished rural African areas has the opportunity to thrive, learn, and dream.
