School supplies
€12.50
At the beginning of the school year, we buy school supplies for the children. Pens, pencils, exercise books, a map, a drawing set (with rulers etc.), erasers, a pencil sharpener and a pencil case. To take all of this to school, the children also need a sturdy backpack. When you purchase a school supplies package you can make sure one of our children has enough supplies to perform at their best at school.

School uniform
All children who go to school in Tanzania have to wear a school uniform. For girls, the uniform consists of: a sweater, socks, a blouse and a skirt or a dress. For boys it consists of: a sweater, a blouse, a pair of pants and socks. Next to this, the children need a sports uniform, which consists of a t-shirt with shorts. The children only wear their uniform when they are at school, in order to make sure they can use their uniform as long as possible. The parents of the children have the task to wash and alter/repair the uniforms, as we think it is important they have responsibilities. Since the children wear their uniforms daily and are still growing, we believe they need a new uniform every year. With your purchase you can make sure that one of our children will have a nice school uniform for a year.
School fees
One of the main goals of the Nanginyi Foundation is to provide access to education for the children. Five days per week they go to the Sasa School, which lies at the edge of the savannah, where they live. They get their lessons in English. We pay the school fees for the children at the beginning of the school year. The school year in Tanzania starts in January and ends in December. The children get days off during all national and religious holidays, and get a month off in June. School fees are our largest expense every year, so every donation is welcome! Access to education gives the children a chance for a brighter future!
Food package
The Nanginyi Foundation sponsors families who do not have enough food to eat every day. It is important for the Maasai to eat well, as they perform hard physical labour and need a lot of energy. The Nanginyi Foundation sponsors food packages with rice, beans, maize/corn, tea, sugar, cooking oil and, when available, some vegetables and fruit. Our local coordinator will put together the food packages depending on the current food prices and availability. He will then deliver them to families in need. When you buy a food package in our webshop you can make sure that a Maasai family in need will get support.
Shoes
All the children need two pairs of shoes to go to school: shoes for their school uniform and sport shoes. They will only wear the shoes when going to school, in order to make sure they last as long as possible. When one of the children has outgrown their shoes they will be passed on to one of the smaller children. With your purchase you can make sure that one of our children has proper shoes to go to school this year.

Schoolspullen
Aan het begin van het jaar worden de schoolspullen altijd ingekocht. Pennen, potloden, schriften, een map, een tekenset (linialen etc.), gummen, een puntenslijper en een etui. Om dit allemaal mee naar school te nemen is natuurlijk ook een goede en stevige rugzak nodig. Met de aankoop van het pakket schoolspullen zorgt u ervoor dat een kind alle schoolbenodigdheden voor het hele jaar krijgt om zo optimaal te presteren.
Bonen
Waar de meeste scholen voornamelijk bonen en maïs koken, kiezen wij ervoor om twee keer per week bonen te koken. Op de andere dagen vervangen wij de bonen met groentes, zodat de kinderen een gevarieerd weekmenu hebben. Ook de prijs van bonen is in de afgelopen periode helaas flink gestegen. Een kilo bonen kost €1,40, terwijl dit voor de droogte nog €0,60-€0,80 per kilo was.
Schoolgeld
Eén van de hoofddoelen van Stichting Nanginyi is educatie voor de kinderen. De kinderen gaan 5 dagen in de week naar Sasa School, aan de rand van de savanne, waar zij Engelstalig onderwijs volgen. In het begin van het schooljaar betalen wij het schoolgeld voor alle kinderen. Het schooljaar in Tanzania begint in januari en eindigt in december. Tijdens alle nationale en religieuze feestdagen hebben de kinderen vrij en in juni hebben zij een maand vakantie. Het schoolgeld is jaarlijks een grote kostenpost dus elke donatie is welkom! Educatie geeft de kinderen de kans op een betere toekomst!
Zonnebloemolie
Om te koken gebruiken we zonnebloemolie die we altijd inkopen in grote emmers van 20 liter.
