Bethel Green Tanzania

We partner with local leaders in and around Bunda, Mara Region to strengthen communities and disciple the next generation. Our efforts center on three levers of lasting change: supporting local schools, empowering women, and building sustainable agriculture.

Our Approach

Inspired by partners like Convoy of Hope, we adapt a proven model to local realities—prioritizing relationships, long-term accountability, and African ownership. In practice, that looks like:

• Support Local Schools: keep students in class with nutritious meals and essentials.
• Empower Women: microloans + mentoring to stabilize families and seed new businesses.
• Sustainable Agriculture: education, better methods, and local processing to lift yields and income.

We began by helping Vision Complex School purchase land and build a classroom—then partnered with Collins Open School to develop cattle, rice, and future processing capacity. As projects mature, local teams lead and own the work. That’s how real change sticks.

The Bethel Green Story

Vision Complex School was launched in 2014 to serve vulnerable children—orphans, those with disabilities, and kids from poor families. Early days were humble: a rented house, devoted teachers, and a lot of chickens to sell for food. Over time, a string of providential encounters connected the school with friends and donors.

One of those connections led to Bethel Green Outreach. We built a new classroom on purchased land, then partnered with Collins Open School to add cattle and rice projects that both train students and support the school’s operations. The long-term vision is a regional ag training center and fully local ownership.

Why should we care? Because to know is to care, and to care is to act. None of our staff take a salary from donations—every dollar goes to the work. Join us in changing someone’s world, one student at a time.

Local Staff & Teachers

Our team serves in challenging conditions with modest wages and a deep sense of calling. Their dedication and faithfulness make the daily difference for kids and families.
