- Actionable steps and advice to address an ongoing managerial issue
- Assessment of the effectiveness of the Organization's leadership team
What we have in place

How this will help
This project will save us $4,198 , allowing us to care for and educate 12 orphans for one year.
Nonprofits almost always struggle with the complex dynamic between senior stakeholders. Our US Managing Director is seeking help understanding her strengths and weaknesses in order to discover her own leadership style and effectively leverage each of these groups' contributions and needs.

Our mission
Creating a home for children.
Transforming communities.
Building futures in Tanzania.
What we do
The Rift Valley Children’s Village (RVCV or the Children’s Village) was created in 2003 to provide a loving home and a life of opportunity for orphaned children. Today, 88 children lead happy, healthy lives at the Children’s Village.
They receive far more than food, clothing, and shelter – each child at the Children’s Village grows up securely knowing that they are loved and that they are an integral part of this unique community. They are not up for adoption; the Children’s Village is their permanent family, nurturing them to become productive citizens and future leaders of Tanzania.
Although the Children’s Village is our main commitment, we recognize that the most effective ways to improve outcomes for marginalized children is to strengthen the communities in which they live. Recognizing the complex nature of the challenges facing the wider community in which it operates, TCF and RVCV have taken an innovative, multi-pronged approach to combating poverty and improving the lives of marginalized children throughout the region.
Our portfolio of community projects include:
- School Partnerships – In partnership with the local government, we manage the local primary and secondary schools, with the goal of improving educational outcomes and providing opportunities for high achieving students.
- Free Medical Care – We partner with the Foundation for African Medicine and Education (FAME) to provide free bi-monthly medical clinics for the local community.
- Microfinance Program – We help foster economic growth with small business loans to help break cycles of poverty in the communities surrounding the Children’s Village.
- Community Health Education – Health education has started in the primary school and as a community outreach program, educating men and women about different forms of family planning, abuse, and disease.
