Felicia’s Children Center has come a long way since January 2024. With the generous support of donors like you, we’ve been able to transform the space Ruth was initially using into a warm and inviting school house. For 2025, we’re working hard to establish our NGO status in Tanzania. Below is a brief outline of our goals for upcoming projects. If you have any questions or want to get involved, please contact us so we can share more about our development plans and partners. Thank you! The FCCF Board

New Playground Equipment, Swings & Seesaw
The purchase and installation of a commercial grade, preschool-friendly playground. Various types of playground equipment will contribute to the children’s free play and exercise. In addition, we also plan to implement an afterschool program and this will foster more outdoor play for the community as a whole.

Afterschool Enrichment Programs
The local staff of FCC would like to expand their educational impact to the Arusha community by providing additional afterschool support to those students who have moved on to primary school. An afterschool program would allow a safe and supportive space for children to receive homework help as well as an additional source of nutrition.

Additional Staff Salaries
At present, three of our Tanzania-based staff are not drawing a salary. We know that their commitment and investment in the school will go farther is they feel valued for their time and expertise. We would like to establish funds to pay our Head of School, Head of Operations and Accountant.

Monthly Operations
At present, the foundation averages about $500 USD in monthly expenses to cover the cost of food, miscellaneous purchases and staff salaries. With help from donors, we’d like to offset that cost for the year so we can focus on new development and enrichment programs.
